Man you really really saved my life here. I am just starting to learn about weight exercises and came here from the forearm workout video. I was doing cable pull-ups holding the bar with only the first bows of my fingers which probably caused the problem now I understand. Thanks for the explanation and showing each finger separately to explain the difference.
You're a LIFE SAVER!!! While my elbow is still hurting, you gave me the confidence to keep training through it and the stretch is GREATLY HELPING. Its been 4 days I've since I started using this and its getting a lot better. Thanks Athlean-X
thanks man.. i am really having this pain.. i didn't know what caused it..thanks for letting me know.. please post more videos related to this types of body pains
Any suggestions for people who have gold tendonitis? I have never played golf, but my doctors have been saying that I have it. It's been like this for almost a year now and the doctors are not helping at all. I have been given max 5kg weights to use on the hand, some band strength moves and this same stretch that was showed on this video. Mostly it flares from the elbow to the wrist, those two are the main culprits. Mostly I feel the pain when on a computer (at work) and sometimes randomly on a gym or after gym. Any help from anyone is appreciated.
10 mins straight of in-depth medical/technical information on one of the most common injury in fitness training. No bullshit self-promotion. And completely free! I think there is a handful of people on youtube that are as knowledgeable as Jeff. But when it comes to the actual love of simply helping others get better, this man is unparalleled.
Jeff. Why dont you do a short series on injuries like this. Shoulder (all 3 heads), wrist, legs (quads and hamstrings) etc etc... would be very usefull to have explanations like this. Explain more about the kinetic chain too. I love you Jeff!
welshdragon2008 if you have pain in the heads of the shoulders, which are muscles, then just take a break and let them heal. I think the shoulder joint and rotator cuff are the parts that you mean he should make videos on (which he has done if you need them)
these videos are long not because jeff wants, but because unfortunately youtube almost forces you to have videos longer than 10 minutes, because the difference between a video with more and less than 10 minutes is a lot when it comes to revenue...
I've been using a false grip for years because my first trainer told me it helps engage the lats more. I never considered it had anything to do with my random elbow pain. I've had PTs and DRs tell me to stretch and ice and none of them caught this. Jeff is the best.
I've been experiencing that injury all year, and since July I've been avoiding upper body because of it. Jeff nailed it and after doing that stretching adjustment he showed i'm already noticing a difference. The man's a genius.
i had been suffering with this problem and this guy is the only one who explained why and how to solve properly, well detailed... This Man is the LORD of This Field...
Not to hijack comments for Jeff... But JaxBlade!! I've been off pull ups for 3mo now 😭 because of the pain. Took me 3 mo of Australian pull ups before I could do 1 Reg pull up. Then another 3 mo to work up to 5 pull ups. Now 0 pull-ups 😭😭😭. I did get one of those P.T. Sticks that you mentioned in of of your vids. I grip and twist 5min 2x per day. I don't know if it's working but boy do I feel it right in the inner elbow. I tell ya, my body is in a constant state of Deku. 😂If it's not one thing it's something else in a state of recovery and I can't push it. I mainly alternate btwn 1-2hr walks (4 x per week), 30 min jump rope(3x per week 1min on 30sec off), 45 min Bodyweight exercises (3 x per week: push ups, dips, squats, lunges, planks, bridges, pull ups). Typically I'll just pick 3 of the exercises per session then rotate 3 more for next session. I wouldn't even call this close to extreme training. This is basic, not even athlete level. Not loving my physical limits but I know things could always be worse. So like my 1st car that I got for $100. I'll continue to do the best I can w/ what I've got, while I've got it. Until the wheels literally fell off😂
Never has a video being such a revelation. This pain came out of nowhere or so I though. Went heavier than ever on seated rows and recall my grip failing. Ring finger strain killing the elbow. Saw this video 2 weeks to late. Thanks man.
This is exceptional! I've been doing weighted pullups lately and often "slipped" into that incorrect grip. Really started feeling my elbow today, thanks a lot Jeff!
i went to physical therapy for months in Philly for this exact problem. I watch 2 minutes of Jeff on this and the pain i had is completely gone. I love this f'ing guy! Thank you!!!!!
Jeff is the best online trainer. I lost 2 years in my work out program because i could no longer do my biceps exercises without pain. I watched many videos and everyone said to just rest it. How long do you rest it? Until it feels better...thanks;(. After watching this video Jeff nailed the issue with my ring finger and by simply stretching it out I am now back to lifting and experiencing big gains in my arms. If you are Reading this, Jeff you are the best and you saved my work outs. I lost 2 years but am glad to be able and start again and make up for it. Thank you so much for your videos.
I have been suffering from this pain for a couple of months now and my physio was telling me it was simply as a result of overuse, and that the only cure was complete rest. I came across your video almost by accident, but you have nailed both the cause and cure so simply and eloquently. The pain from the ring finger test confirmed your diagnosis straight away. Thanks a million Jeff
Super helpful! Love the detail you put into these injury videos. Probably one of the most common issues/injuries. Always trying to help clients deal with this one. Great tips as always!
I've dealt with this pain and just become so frustrated with it to the point that I've been ignoring it and pushing through it just to carry on training, thanks so much for this video Jeff! I'm going to take time to work on the injury and try to fix it.
I had the exact same problem in my right elbow for about one year. Tested my fingers and found the pain generated only from my ring finger. Did some stretching exercises and have focused on my grip. 3 weeks later the elbow pain is gone! Thank you Jeff!

@@renanterezan9922 yes. I obviously have a weakness there but the stretches and techniques I found on this channel have 100% helped reduce the pain and on one arm completely eliminated it. I have also learnt that I need to stretch a LOT more now I’m old.
@@XTheFinalEpisodeX I initially gave it a few weeks to heal (no lifting). Then I stretched every morning and a few times throughout the day and slowly started at gym again. I now lift heavy again and always stretch a lot prior and after each set. I found modifying my grip and no t letting it slip out to overload the fingers. That’s where I caused damage. Overloading the fingers when I lots grip towards the end of sets.

Jeff is an angel, i feel safe starting to lift at 17 with all his information, i feel like i never gonna injury myself hard and have a for life injury 💪💪
Tacio this is a great time for you starting out in your training with all this info of today. I was your age 22 years back so have learnt the hard way and am still learning. I strongly must recommend you look at barefoot shoes (vivo) and toe correctors for yourself preservation and longevity. Take up some krav Maga and Jui Jitsu while learning yoga to mix up and keep your goals fun and balanced. This is what I would tell my younger self and my kids and stuck for career choice? Look chiropractory. All the best in your training and for your future!
Tacio OB it has been a long learning curve but there was some info out there in magazines. Whatever age you are today you can start reconditioning yourself at 70 plus now with the info out there. There's still room for improvement and hopefully this will come
You are just the best!!!!! I got this golf elbow while playing tennis. Couldn’t do pull ups. But right now by I stretched my ring finger while watching the video, the pain is almost entirely gone!!!!!
Thank you! I've had this pain off and on for years and never knew that I was contributing to it by doing pull ups this way. I never paid that much attention to my grip and wondered why some pull ups felt good and others felt painful in my elbows...went back to the gym and made it a point to keep this grip and was amazed at how consistent it felt each time I pulled.
Damn, this was my most recent injury and I could not do preacher curls because of that mistake. You are a lifesaver Jeff. I used to have a lot of forearm pain before, bu that’s history. Thanks.
Thank you, Jeff!! I’ve been living with this pain for months, and I was too stubborn to get it checked out. This is exactly what’s going on with my elbow. Thank you!!
You’ve just saved my life. Exaggerating saying that. But I’ve had this problem for months now and it’s stopped me lifting my weights. I’ve looked into everything. And it’s all tennis elbow. I rested it for weeks and as soon as it stopped hurting enough so I could go back to lifting the pain just come back. Now I know what’s happening I can finally fix what I’m doing wrong. Thank you.
This video is an absolute game changer. I had to ditch chin ups from my routine entirely for over 6 months because I kept getting medial elbow pain from it and I couldn't figure out why. Now that I've reintroduced chin ups but with a properly supported grip I haven't had a return of the elbow pain. Thank you Jeff!
Most experienced body builder ever. He describes every problems with solutions what I experience during my workout... My most beloved Guide❤️ ever... Hats off 2 You...🙏
Is this guy reading my mind over the internet...??? I woke up this morning after a workout and said "My elbow hurts." I clicked on this did the test to see if this is the reason for my elbow pain and whadda you know...??? It's the exact reason why my elbow hurts after pull ups.
I have this. I saw a doctor and he was helpful but couldn't say what the problem was. He diagnosed "golf elbow" and told me to stretch it. This video explains exactly what happened. Thanks!
Superb video on how to deal with medial epicondilitis. I've had this issue for the past month or so and through research I've done a lot of things to alleviate the pain but it's not 100% gone. I've not tried this yet though as in order to avoid calluses I've gripped the bars too far up my hand exactly like he is describing. When I used to grip further down I got heavy calluses but don't remember such pain. It seems I will need to try what he is suggesting and simply grip how I used to grip. I'd take calluses over sharp elbow pain any day.
I have been having problems with my left elbow for over 2 years now, and it has kept me from working out. This video should be mandatory to watch for everyone starting at the gym!
I get this with bicep curls, along with a stabbing feel, it feels like a very hot balloon being blown to max capacity in the elbow joint, this will help alot thx
Wow - I just started working out again, no issues for a month. Lots of chins. Started to get calluses with the palm grip and went to fingers only and sure enough got this pain the next day. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, I WILL TAKE CALLUSES OVER THIS PAIN ANY TIME!
Tip: Also use straps for your pulling exercises... will take force off of these fingers. Don't worry about grip or forearm strength for now. You can adress that later
Jeff, cannot thank you enough for this video. This is EXACTLY what I am currently struggling with and I have taken some time off from the gym and am really bummed about it. But its great to be able to isolate what's going on and be able to actively fix it in the future. You da man...
Amazing! I've been dealing with these elbow pains for about 8 months now, and I've taken a break on these lifts for about the past two months, but now, thanks to you, Jeff, I can begin to ease back into these arm, etc., lifts and hopefully the pain won't come back this time. Thanks a million! :)
Amazing Jeff! I had been struggling with this injury for months. Finally I know and on my way to recovery. Loved the specific stretch, it felt a relief right away
This is what i was looking for...i didnt know how i injured my elbow ... Now i know! Looked everywhere for elbow pain. No right answer. Found it here. Thanks Man👍😎⭐
Definitely the best, you're a master of your field! 💪 Please, Jeff, make a video about problems with the ulnar nerve// cubital tunnel syndrome. I have really "lash" joints and the nerve doesn't sit correctly in its sulcus. I cannot do push-exercises anymore and even pull-exercises where I must bend my arms are a huge probleme. It always knocks and pops out at the inside of my elbow. Indeed, there are already some videos on RUclips but I hope for your big knowledge and expertise. I don't want to have surgery. 🤔 Best wishes, Philipp
i have this problem for a month, i had the same pain and questions about what caused that. and now randomly saw this video. thanks for the great information Mr.
omg I faced that situation today during my lat and bicep session wasn't able to perform any back exercise I felt a shock in right forearm whenever i performed a rep and I returned home this video literally is a life saver for me thankyou sooo much
Awesome video. Shows why you are the best. Saved me hours of research. Thx Jeff. After two years of serious training I got this elbow pain out of the blue. It’s definitely affecting my performance & worst my motivation. Am Not wanting to stop training & would love some tips on how to continue lifting, any advise will be appreciated 👍❤️
Thank you man, this makes so much sense, I just started working on a lot more this past month and my forearm and elbow started feeling numb and I would always do that first forearm stretch, but this makes a lot more sense. Doctors said I had a problem with the muscle from being on the computer too long without stretching
Plethora of valuable information on this channel, Jeff you have helped me rehabilitate my shoulder and back without Doctors who cannot find their own assholes with a flashlight! Cheers mate.
FINALLY! I've been looking for a YEAR for this explanation. I injured my elbow and the best I could find, including my Dr., was "it's golfer's elbow". My Dr. actually told me it was tennis elbow! It took 9 months before I could really work out again and I found if I just didn't supinate my grip as much, turn my wrists in maybe 20 deg, using a curl bar instead of a straight bar, I could work out. This explained the why. Thanks Jeff!
After 5 Months of pain, and due to COVID , I finally got serious about solving my medial pain and made the time to research it. I chose You Tube. Your video was the 2nd I watched and BOOM...Solved it with Science!! The old Origin and Insertion model works and that's why you're the BEST! Evidence Based Science wins everytime. Thanks Jeff. I've watched a LOT of your videos but this one really paid off. Thanks mate. Fantastic!!
"you know you got that pain, it feels like a knife" your the man, thanks for the tips. Im 27 and I've notice this getting worse and worse over the last couple of years.. litterally feels like I hit my funny bone x's 1000.. your the people's champ man. Not a pro or some big company, just a normal guy that wants to share the knowledge to better everyone's experience in the gym, thanks man edit- grammar
THank you so much COACH! I have been stumped by this happening on both my elbows, especially on my weaker side. Do Hammer Curls aggravate the FSD? I sometimes would feel pain in that area as well when doing heavier weights. But it isn't necessarily bending horizontally like a barbell or chin up, so I don't know if hammer curls should be avoided as well.
@Noplay What you're describing sounds more like pain in the brachioradialis. For that issue, check out this Athlean-X video: ruclips.net/video/OT-1mQSE3lw/видео.html
You are a hero. I've been to different fysio therapists. I even told one that I think it is my little and ring finger but she said no that is not it you are just lifting heavy you need to do lift light weights many reps (never helped) I want to the orthopedic a few days ago and he told me I am just not made for bodybuilding and I can never fix this. My problem is not the healing. Since I've had it for about 7 years it only hurts for a couple hours nowadays whereas back then it used to hurt for a week or two. This video made so much sense especially because of the things I expected just have been confirmed and I was able to test it. I also noticed that when I get a good grip on the bar in way that the bar feels small in my hands the pain is reduced by a lot and I can lift much better these days and this explains why. Thanks a lot Jeff I will give this my best try and I am hopeful about it.
Thanks for this, I know all too well the pain of a common gym injury, albeit via my husband. He regularly comes home from the gym with scratch marks down his back and a bleeding anus from his regular weight lifting sessions with his trainer Gary. He says it's hard but he puts up with it because Gary is such a great guy and he doesn't want to let him down, and I can respect that :)
I followed your directions to strengthen my glutes and lower back working from the bottom up great advice major improvement! I will follow your advice as well for my elbow issue! Thank you! God Bless!

I never paid that much attention to my grip and wondered why some pull ups felt good and others felt painful in my elbows...went back to the gym and made it a point to keep this grip and was amazed at how consistent it felt each time I pulled.
Thanks Jeff. This injury always flares up atleast once a year and I'm surprised I missed this info over the many years I've sought your knowledge.
Damn, this was my most recent injury and I could not do preacher curls because of that mistake. You are a lifesaver Jeff. I used to have a lot of forearm pain before, bu that’s history. Thanks.
Thank you, Jeff!! I’ve been living with this pain for months, and I was too stubborn to get it checked out. This is exactly what’s going on with my elbow. Thank you!!
So what's the update
You’ve just saved my life. Exaggerating saying that. But I’ve had this problem for months now and it’s stopped me lifting my weights. I’ve looked into everything. And it’s all tennis elbow. I rested it for weeks and as soon as it stopped hurting enough so I could go back to lifting the pain just come back. Now I know what’s happening I can finally fix what I’m doing wrong. Thank you.
This video is an absolute game changer. I had to ditch chin ups from my routine entirely for over 6 months because I kept getting medial elbow pain from it and I couldn't figure out why. Now that I've reintroduced chin ups but with a properly supported grip I haven't had a return of the elbow pain. Thank you Jeff!
Same!!
You’re always helping people dude
Most experienced body builder ever. He describes every problems with solutions what I experience during my workout...
My most beloved Guide❤️ ever... Hats off 2 You...🙏
Good instructors
Great Instructors
And then comes Jeff 💪
You the best bro.
Is this guy reading my mind over the internet...??? I woke up this morning after a workout and said "My elbow hurts." I clicked on this did the test to see if this is the reason for my elbow pain and whadda you know...??? It's the exact reason why my elbow hurts after pull ups.
The Proverbial Hater Same here this isn't the first time xD
Raitik MKD 😂😂😂
I have this. I saw a doctor and he was helpful but couldn't say what the problem was. He diagnosed "golf elbow" and told me to stretch it. This video explains exactly what happened. Thanks!
Superb video on how to deal with medial epicondilitis. I've had this issue for the past month or so and through research I've done a lot of things to alleviate the pain but it's not 100% gone.
I've not tried this yet though as in order to avoid calluses I've gripped the bars too far up my hand exactly like he is describing. When I used to grip further down I got heavy calluses but don't remember such pain.
It seems I will need to try what he is suggesting and simply grip how I used to grip. I'd take calluses over sharp elbow pain any day.
A Literal God Why would you avoid calluses?
Look into Flexbar exercises, they’ve helped me a lot. Watch the youtube video by Jamie
Whats the issue with calluses...? Ever hear of gloves or grip pads? Or lotion? You can use lotion for more then one activity....
61lastchild Lol
Dennis Bondarev will do
Thanks Jeff. I am dealing with this exact pain. I would have never known this without your video.
I have been having problems with my left elbow for over 2 years now, and it has kept me from working out. This video should be mandatory to watch for everyone starting at the gym!
I get this with bicep curls, along with a stabbing feel, it feels like a very hot balloon being blown to max capacity in the elbow joint, this will help alot thx
Seriously, thank you. saved me from worsening my injury.
Wow - I just started working out again, no issues for a month. Lots of chins. Started to get calluses with the palm grip and went to fingers only and sure enough got this pain the next day. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, I WILL TAKE CALLUSES OVER THIS PAIN ANY TIME!
Tip: Also use straps for your pulling exercises... will take force off of these fingers. Don't worry about grip or forearm strength for now. You can adress that later
Jeff, cannot thank you enough for this video. This is EXACTLY what I am currently struggling with and I have taken some time off from the gym and am really bummed about it. But its great to be able to isolate what's going on and be able to actively fix it in the future. You da man...
This is gold! I’ve had the pain for about a year and couldn’t figure out exactly what was causing it. Thanks so much Jeff.
Amazing! I've been dealing with these elbow pains for about 8 months now, and I've taken a break on these lifts for about the past two months, but now, thanks to you, Jeff, I can begin to ease back into these arm, etc., lifts and hopefully the pain won't come back this time. Thanks a million! :)
How well is your condition now?
Amazing Jeff! I had been struggling with this injury for months. Finally I know and on my way to recovery. Loved the specific stretch, it felt a relief right away
How's it going?
This is what i was looking for...i didnt know how i injured my elbow ... Now i know!
Looked everywhere for elbow pain. No right answer.
Found it here. Thanks Man👍😎⭐
I keep learning new things with every day with Jeff. I thank you sir
Definitely the best, you're a master of your field! 💪 Please, Jeff, make a video about problems with the ulnar nerve// cubital tunnel syndrome. I have really "lash" joints and the nerve doesn't sit correctly in its sulcus. I cannot do push-exercises anymore and even pull-exercises where I must bend my arms are a huge probleme. It always knocks and pops out at the inside of my elbow. Indeed, there are already some videos on RUclips but I hope for your big knowledge and expertise. I don't want to have surgery. 🤔
Best wishes,
Philipp

i have this problem for a month, i had the same pain and questions about what caused that. and now randomly saw this video. thanks for the great information Mr.
Jeff's muscle marker artwork game is on another level now! Awesome!
Wow that explains why that pain went away after I started focusing on improving my grip strength
I've been sat here wondering why mine disappeared. This is all I can think of. Then I saw your comment!
omg I faced that situation today during my lat and bicep session
wasn't able to perform any back exercise I felt a shock in right forearm whenever i performed a rep and I returned home
this video literally is a life saver for me
thankyou sooo much
Legendary content.. A very big Thank you for all the effort and for sharing the knowledge with us.
Can’t believe this information is free!
Johnjohntv 69 dont worry Jeff gets paid :)
I dont pay him. This information is free for me..
right? and then there are pastors selling imaginary shit for millions
Salil Deshpande you're paying for the internet
Maaan I’ve been dealing with this for almost 9 months and now I finally see this!!!! THANKS JEFFFF! Amazing find!
This guy right here! So glad I found this channel.
Awesome video. Shows why you are the best. Saved me hours of research. Thx Jeff. After two years of serious training I got this elbow pain out of the blue. It’s definitely affecting my performance & worst my motivation. Am Not wanting to stop training & would love some tips on how to continue lifting, any advise will be appreciated 👍❤️
Are you doing skull crushers a lot?
omg.. this video was the answer to my elbow pain. no physio or doc even came close to figuring our the cause of my elbow pain. Thank you x100000
Must have got 100% on your Anatomy & Physiology exam..😆 Great advice and very helpful. Many thanks 👍
Jeff I watch your videos so much that when I was mowing my lawn I went fast down a steep slope and I heard you in my head "control the eccentric!"
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m am expecting exactly this problem and now I know what to do. You are the best Jeff!
this video just made me realize it's my wedding ring causing my grip issues and left elbow pain
I WAS LITERALLY JUST HAVING THIS PAIN THANK YOU
Imagine if Jeff only trained people and never did you tube.He would help lot of people.But now is helping millions.I am one of them
Jeff can you please do a video on wrist cracking?
Vihan S I second that
Can you do a video on rotator cuff injuries? They are pretty damn common
yes please
High reps low weight
Strengthen your rear delts. He has videos. Rope face pulls are great.
Josh J cant do face pulls if my rotator cuff is injured
several videos he keys in on external rotation, i've learned A LOT and been able to correct a lot of my shoulder pain
Your a legend, I'm 35 and 4 months into lifting, your videos have guided me and saved me, thanks m8.. --dave from australia
Thank you man, this makes so much sense, I just started working on a lot more this past month and my forearm and elbow started feeling numb and I would always do that first forearm stretch, but this makes a lot more sense. Doctors said I had a problem with the muscle from being on the computer too long without stretching
Plethora of valuable information on this channel, Jeff you have helped me rehabilitate my shoulder and back without Doctors who cannot find their own assholes with a flashlight! Cheers mate.
Watch my fall Of shot 😂😂😂
FINALLY! I've been looking for a YEAR for this explanation. I injured my elbow and the best I could find, including my Dr., was "it's golfer's elbow". My Dr. actually told me it was tennis elbow! It took 9 months before I could really work out again and I found if I just didn't supinate my grip as much, turn my wrists in maybe 20 deg, using a curl bar instead of a straight bar, I could work out. This explained the why. Thanks Jeff!
I was having that pain right there where you said, before I went o vacation. Now I should be abe to correct. Thanks a lot for the info.
I experience elbow pain from holding too many beers at a ninety degree angle. It started about 30 years ago.
After 5 Months of pain, and due to COVID , I finally got serious about solving my medial pain and made the time to research it. I chose You Tube. Your video was the 2nd I watched and BOOM...Solved it with Science!! The old Origin and Insertion model works and that's why you're the BEST! Evidence Based Science wins everytime. Thanks Jeff. I've watched a LOT of your videos but this one really paid off. Thanks mate. Fantastic!!
what did you to get rid of this problem? I got it atm
"you know you got that pain, it feels like a knife" your the man, thanks for the tips. Im 27 and I've notice this getting worse and worse over the last couple of years.. litterally feels like I hit my funny bone x's 1000.. your the people's champ man. Not a pro or some big company, just a normal guy that wants to share the knowledge to better everyone's experience in the gym, thanks man edit- grammar
Genius, again describing all my gym related problems. Are you stalking me Jeff?
I have struggled with this for years, you’re the first one that actually knows what they’re talking about, thank you!
This is an eye opener. I need to change my grip 💪🏽
THank you so much COACH!
I have been stumped by this happening on both my elbows, especially on my weaker side.
Do Hammer Curls aggravate the FSD? I sometimes would feel pain in that area as well when doing heavier weights. But it isn't necessarily bending horizontally like a barbell or chin up, so I don't know if hammer curls should be avoided as well.
Noplay I get this when I do db hammers or shrugs
I get this pain on hammer curls aswell
yeah I get this worse on hammer curls than anything else, I can't do pull ups either
@Noplay What you're describing sounds more like pain in the brachioradialis. For that issue, check out this Athlean-X video:
ruclips.net/video/OT-1mQSE3lw/видео.html
You are a hero. I've been to different fysio therapists. I even told one that I think it is my little and ring finger but she said no that is not it you are just lifting heavy you need to do lift light weights many reps (never helped) I want to the orthopedic a few days ago and he told me I am just not made for bodybuilding and I can never fix this. My problem is not the healing. Since I've had it for about 7 years it only hurts for a couple hours nowadays whereas back then it used to hurt for a week or two. This video made so much sense especially because of the things I expected just have been confirmed and I was able to test it. I also noticed that when I get a good grip on the bar in way that the bar feels small in my hands the pain is reduced by a lot and I can lift much better these days and this explains why. Thanks a lot Jeff I will give this my best try and I am hopeful about it.
The immediate dislike on this video is brought to you by V Shred
well played sir lol
Thanks for this, I know all too well the pain of a common gym injury, albeit via my husband. He regularly comes home from the gym with scratch marks down his back and a bleeding anus from his regular weight lifting sessions with his trainer Gary. He says it's hard but he puts up with it because Gary is such a great guy and he doesn't want to let him down, and I can respect that :)
Lmao
Lol bless you 😂😂😂
Thank you. I’ve had this golfers elbow and the pain sucks. I must have developed these bad habits unknowingly. Thanks for clearing it up!!!!
After I started watching Jeff, I realised just how much I was doing wrong at the gym
I officially decided that I’m gonna get this muscle marker drawing over my forearms as a tattoo
I followed your directions to strengthen my glutes and lower back working from the bottom up great advice major improvement! I will follow your advice as well for my elbow issue! Thank you! God Bless!
