    Hi, may I ask what's the best time to do the "Accessories" at 4:03. I train full body 3 times a week but I've recently spotted some weak spots, so I will be adding a couple of back/shoulders corrective exercises. So my question is should I do them before or after my workout? I think doing them before the workout would be better, but I still want to know your opinion. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you so much for the insightful video as always! Just a question - I’ve been performing pull ups for quite a number of years and have recently noticed that my left back - lats & teres minor, are lagging severely. I’ve video recorded myself and was noticeably pulling unevenly towards the left side on the concentric part of the movement - similar to the demonstrator in this video however albeit more prominently. I’ve tried performing angels however noticed some form of grinding/popping in my shoulder joints. Have been trying to do scapular stabilisation exercises eg. External rotations, scapular shrugs but to no avail. How would you go about attempting to rectify said issue?

  • @E3Rehab

    From a technique perspective, you could try isometrics and/or slow eccentrics. If there's an asymmetry in muscle mass that you'd like to work on, you could always include unilateral exercises. Somewhat depends if it's more of a strength, range of motion, or control issue.

    I thought I had golfers elbow from too many pull ups, Planche and front levers. I'm almost positive now that I strained my pronator teres which is required to get into external rotation in all those exercises. I'm at a loss for rehab protocol because I am also dealing with biceps tendonitis/shoulder pain. I'm scared shitless to attempt pull ups at this point

    @@mohameddhain2781 honestly, I’m still struggling with it but I’ve made steps toward finally healing. First and foremost, I think I have tennis and golfers elbow in both elbows. Anyway, the things that have helped most recently and with a lot of success have been completely stopping all exercises that aggravate the pain including modifications of those exercises. No pull ups, no rows, no push-ups no handstands or planche or any of it. The last 3 weeks I’ve gone back to running mostly and using kettlebells. 4 days ago I started wrapping bands around the pull up bar to assist with my grip (seen on Athlean-X) because I had a feeling it was just trashed from being way too overworked. I have successfully completed 2 different workouts of 5 sets of 3 pull ups. I make sure I warm up first. Band pull aparts and the “worser” stretch followed by the butcher block stretch really help a lot. I do these in between sets of my pull ups. No pain. I have been doing lots of shoulder extension work with light bands and cables because I have issues with getting into extension. I also dedicate entire workout sessions to mobility work focusing on my shoulders, elbows and wrists. I think for the first time in a year my injuries feel better than they ever have. I had to understand that these injuries accumulated over a period of months and will take just as long or even longer to heal. Edit: just wanted to add that the type of pull ups I’ve been doing are The Perfect Pull Up seen on Dominik Sky’s channel. Sets of 3 may not sound like a lot but doing them the way he encourages is really difficult and the goal is not to add reps but to add weight instead.

    I just found this today while searching for "forearm pain with pullups." I know it's a couple of years old but I thought I'd ask anyway. I began to work on my pullups about 6 months ago. I'm 57 and after struggling with shoulder impingment, I'm now at 10 pull ups. I recently videoed myself and notice at the top of my pull up, I'm hunching forward, despite my best effort to push my chest to the bar. Could this be why I'm feeling it more in my forearms than in my back? thank you.

    Using rings will allow you to use a neutral grip which depending on your symptoms might be the fix you need. As someone with previous tendon injuries using neutral grips on rings has been a fantastic alternative.

    Actually I figured out a better solution to cure tedonitis. You basically have to do rapid high rep band exercises. I recently started doing tricep pushdowns, curls, and wrist curls with bands for 50+ reps each for one set each before doing any pull-ups or bench press, and I’m already seeing improvements within a week of starting. The key is to do them fast and without a controlled eccentric, you have to let the band snap you back into position in order to stimulate more micro-tearing and blood flow to the tendons. More blood flow equals more healing. You want to do them 5-7 days per week. I’ve read comments from other people who have done this and they say that it completely cured their golfer/tennis elbow. I will report back in a month to let you guys know the full results.

    This was interesting and informative aswell. Sadly it did´nt help me for my problem, which is feeling emmediate pain in my triceps tendons right after the ellbows. I don´t experience this pain when rowing or gripping something heavy from the bottom, only in a deadhang / pullup. Already went to my doctor about this and the only thing he adviced was taking iboprofen for weeks on end because of some inflamation in the triceps and resting for weeks. I´ve tried that but did´nt see any improvement. Since then i´ve cut out pullups completely out of my workouts.
