Okay, I have to say this: I think I love you. The part at 0:38 has just helped me getting 5 proper pullups. I've always struggled with form and couldn't hold proper form after the first two. I just can't express how much you just helped me with this video. Much love, dude.

I needed this information. My outer elbow I’d killing me from wide grip pull ups. I can hardly do regular push ups now. But when I keep everything close and tight, it does feel better. Love you Matt.

happy to help, also an update on this, combine the torquing with "packing" your shoulders for even more effect.

Most accurate video on how the f*** the elbow pain starts and by the way describing perfect tension creation while doing pull-ups, in just two minutes. Efficient video!

Thanks. This is the info I was looking for. 👍

Your videos are really good.

Simple yet effects. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Tons of value

Dude! You saved my elbows!!! elbows stopped cracking instantly! No more pain. Thank you ❤

Good advise on letting it heal and backing off.

Great video! I'll be sure to try out this tip in tomorrows workout :D

I never knew that,thanks..pull ups are my number one work out,but now I know how to activate the proper way.

Short + Effective , thank you

This makes sense. Thanks

Thanks Man!

This is amazing! This is exactly what I needed, just did a heavy weighted pullups session and I felt a lot of pain inside the elbow, I had a suspicion that this might be the cause. Thank you, easy sub earned! 😁

Fantastic! So glad this could help. in addition to this, be sure your shoulder blades to closer together too. That will make your pull-ups a lot stronger too!

had some god awful pain in my elbows the last few weeks, been following your channel for a while and this video helped me a lot. was in the middle of moving house, lifting all day and then doing chins/pull ups when i could so i didnt miss a workout. woke up the next day and both my elbows were fucked, also my right shoulder was buggered too. but since watching this video, i have replaced them with rows and its loads better. seems to of healed up, but i am easing myself into it. thanks so much, i never would of thought to of done that.

those should help a lot actually. Reaching for the bar with the shoulders is akin to doing push ups and reaching for the floor with the chin. It should get better with time and as your back gets stronger.

Big time congrats Chuck! Here's to many more pain-free workouts and reps to come!

Just a quick comment for you, a general comment. The journey of the things you're teaching is really rewarding. Technique, technique, technique...becoming a mantra to me now. No more music with the workouts, as you said in one video....prevents that inner dive into strict attention to monitoring form and muscle activation. I have a fit friend who practices yoga in Australia. I have began to speculate with her that your way of working out must have much in common with that. This is my expression of gratitude for what you present to the people, Matt. Let me know how I can purchase your book. These things travel in a circle, my friend. Shine on. :)

I need these tips. My elbow is killing me

This was a good video and it surprisingly actually helped and I’m glad the video wasn’t long and u went straight to the point and showed me how to fix it and what to do unlike these other KZreadrs thanks this video gets a like

Another cause is certainly about grip... taking pressure away from the fingers by ensuring the bar is resting on the meat of your palm. That went a long way to cure this issue in myself.

@RedDeltaProject

5 жыл бұрын

Excellent point Joseph Plana, grip is certainly a key piece of the puzzle

Question. Will Netural grip be the equavilant as doing a normal pull up. i get this issue but i find putting 3 fingers on a band and one off helps. would love to know your thoughts?

With low-ish ceilings at home, I’ve had to set up my bar lower and do ‘Australian pull ups’ - but have developed a lot of pain around my elbow and into the forearm. Worse at the top of the pull movement. Will the technique in the video help here? Should I be doing something else? It would be nice to find a pulling exercise that doesn’t hurt

I nok em

neutral grip and chin ups don't really tackle the same muscle groups and thus don't cause the same issues as gripping the bar with the back of the hand facing you.

Hi I will try to do this change to get better with my elbow pain, but I want to ask you if you think that it helps to use elbow pads? Recently I bought some elbow pads and I’ve been using them, do you think this helps to improve my sore of the elbows?? Thank you

I have a question is it possible to get not golf elbow but tennis elbow by doing chin ups cuz i experienced tennis elbow and i just started doing chin ups and pull ups but i feel like i am getting the same injury again so could it be because of this or some other exercise ?

Thanks, what about the other grip, with the opening of the palm on the outside...?

@RedDeltaProject

Finger tip push ups are good for that as well as just letting your arm hang by your side while pulling your fingers up toward your forearm.

Can you please talk about correcting wrist pain associated with push ups, hand stands, etc... Should I be looking into alternative hand positions or using the dreaded push up stands to get a straight base?

@RedDeltaProject

+510Casper I would start with the strength of the hand and forearm in general. Do you do any grip strength? Are you working on keeping your hand tight as you do your push-ups and handstands? Also consider the surface you're working on. I recommend a hard surface as opposed to carpet or a mat as that's going to put more extension on the wrist.

@ken_tx

8 жыл бұрын

+RedDeltaProject thanks Matt! Yeah I've been working out on carpet floors for the past year. I'll lay down a couple books over a rubber mat to prevent slipping. I also do grip work but probably not as frequently as I should be. Maybe like once or twice a week. Thanks for the advice.

Matt I've found that using a grip which bends my wrist has caused me to experience pain in my elbow, since straightening it out the problem's gone. I think elbow pain in pulling exercises is caused by not keeping your wrists straight.

@RedDeltaProject

8 жыл бұрын

+Keto Calisthenics There's definitely a correlation between the pain and grip strength as well. Some of the muscles in the forearm cross the elbow so they might be contributing to it a bit. It's definitely good to strengthen the grip with some towel hangs and such.

I am having some problems with my left wrist-forearm-elbow chain lately. Its a sharp pain/sensation that goes through the forearm, any ideia how to fix? I think it is a nerve problem but i dont know how to correct this..

Hello I was wondering if this would help with any shoulder discomfort after doing pullups not instructed in this way

@RedDeltaProject

3 жыл бұрын

It all depends on what's causing the shoulder discomfort. naturally, this can help align pressure in all of the joints the upper body, but it's hard to know without diagnosing exactly what's causing that discomfort.

Hi This is exactly what I have When doing DB for rows or TRX rows I have no problem as soon as its pull ups or BB rows lat pulldowns where my hands are in a set position that's when the problem starts. would using Wrist straps on my pull ups, rows help this? thanks.

@RedDeltaProject

7 жыл бұрын

The wraps might help, but I think they might be a temporary solution and not tackle the real issue at hand. Do you have access to rings or suspension handles you can do pull ups on? That might help. Also, try pulling your shoulders back and drive your elbows into your ribs, that might help.

@sameast3130

will do also is it common to have pins and needles in the hands with this problem? It normally completely goes after 5-7 days rest but if I do pull ups it comes back thankyou

Should I have elbows slightly bent at the end of pull up rep or straight arm

@RedDeltaProject

4 жыл бұрын

You can go with either, but the key is to keep some tension in the muscles. It's the tension that will help protect the joints.

When I use torque it still hurts my left elbow so maybe I’m not doing it correctly but can I still do pushups or dips and still let my elbow heal?

@RedDeltaProject

5 жыл бұрын

It may just be your elbow needs to heal as you said. Even safe moves will cause injury if you're hurt. Stick with lighter moves for the next 6-8 weeks and then revisit.

I recently tried to do typewriter pull-ups for the first time and did 8 reps each side, but after I finished, the inner half of my elbow on the outer edge near where my longhead tendon is started to become painful and very achy instantly after I finished the set, I just attempted it after only doing pause hold pull ups for the past couple weeks within my program and thought I should attempt typewriters since that's my goal, what could be causing the pain?

+Hamwi Gamer Not sure on that one there Hamwi, I'm thinking something in the lumbar with a bit strained and not quite ready for the move. Do you have a lot of torque on the torso when you do this move? Might be good to add in some light bridges to warm up that area before hand.

+Hamwi Gamer Yep, they are also good for helping you balance out your back so it's a bit stronger and helps rid you of weak links that might also be responsible. Also, how wide is your base of support? If your hand is too far out to the side that can place a lot of torque on your back. Idealy, the working hand should be as far under your chest as possible.
