Try neutral grip pull ups. Does wonders! Thanks for the tips brother!

What helped me get rid of my golfer's elbow after 5 years and many many attempts. IASTM tool and massage gun to really get deep into the muscles. Chin and pullups with feet on the floor, many reps, different grips, really get a good pump going. Eating cartilege, collagen etc

Thanks for your comment brother! So basically reducing the inflammation and rebuilding the scar tissue. And after that, rebuilding of strength. Would you say you feel your forearm less activating now, compared to before?

I should add that my injury was from work related overuse. Not gym. Yes, just go deep with the IASTM, i was grimasing from tge pain. High rep continuing until the burn gets too painful. Less use of screens etc. Coincidence perhaps but happened same time as i was eating nattokinase and serrapeptase supplements

Using pronated grip on full motion (all the way up) pull-ups is a tendon killer if you're 35+. It is actually a super awkward movement though if you're young maybe it doesn't seem so. I finally figured that out after getting horrendous tendonitis trying to build lats and used neutral grip and it goes away. Though it is considered heresy by the full motion purists, now I've come to think partial pull-ups are actually better for isolating lats anyway, which makes grip less important depending on how many pull-ups you do.

Good tips, funny enough when I was younger I was obsessed with bigger forearms and I overkilled reverse curls and hammer curls and wrist curls and neglected biceps. I did have some awkward elbow pain for quite some time but I do more curls now and my elbows are good lol

My pain was never severe but what you explained basically matches up with my experience

Awesome! Great to see my experience with this is not unique!

Tennis elbow is caused by a strain to tendons in the forearm. So you need to rest, stretch and strengthen them. Nothing to do with biceps mate.

Bro, you're mixing things up, I'm talking about biceps for golfers elbow. The main thing is that your forearms get overworked because the bicep is not doing its job, especially when you get injured because of training.

@@BarRookie If you have any sources that show weak biceps can lead to overuse of forearm muscles, I'd like to read them. Otherwise you really should not be giving medial advice.

I'm not giving medical advice my friend, I'm mainly sharing my experience. The reason for that is because I went through it. I know the feeling that some people have where they go to medically trained professionals only to be given genereic solutions to their problems. I just want to come from the perspective of fellow gymbro. I don't have any refernce material, just my own experience of what worked and didn't work. Hope that helps getting things into perspective.
