Tennis elbow is definitely one of the most common orthopedic sources of pain that can crush your ability to effectively workout let alone get through your day. The problem with tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis as it is more formerly known, is that the cure and treatment for it are often misguided. In this video, I show you the real cause of tennis elbow and where you should be looking if you want to learn how to fix it once and for all.
The first thing you have to realize is that the cause of pain is very seldom coming from the actual place that you are hurting! In the case of tennis elbow, the source of your symptoms is almost always going to be somewhere other than in your elbow. Just like in the knee, the elbow is a hinge joint with very little motion. Its function is dictated by the biomechanics available in the more mobile joints above and below it (the shoulder and wrist in this case).
If you want to fix tennis elbow once and for all you are going to need to start evaluating some of the possible deficiencies that you have in either your shoulder, forearm or wrist. I show you how weakness in the muscles on the opposite side of the forearm (your flexor/pronator group) can cause a compensatory chronic overactivity of the muscles on the top of your forearm. This causes tendonitis and inflammation that leads to the pain you normally associate with tennis elbow.
You can see however, if all you did was treat the symptoms without focusing on the weakness in the flexors you would never truly get rid of the lateral epicondylitis pain for good. If you want to know how to cure tennis elbow and start doing effective treatment or rehab for it you will have to figure out the real cause of the problem.
Additional causes are discussed including a lack of eccentric control of the muscles in the shoulder, especially when throwing. If you lack control of the scapular stabilizers or shoulder muscles themselves then your wrist extensors are going to have to work on overtime to pick up the slack for the weak muscles. This will again cause tennis elbow and unless you stop doing the traditional tennis elbow exercises and address this real source, you won’t ever treat the problem.
If you want to start training like an athlete and fortify your body against overuse syndromes like tennis elbow and chronic tendonitis, head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. The physical therapist created workout and nutrition program is the number one choice of pro athletes and weekend warriors alike.

When I first started this video I didn't know what was wrong with my elbow.
And now I still don't know what's wrong with my elbow and possibly what could be wrong with something else in my body.
😂😭🤣😭😭
Yeah, I feel I wasted my time watching this. The question is: so what? What I can do now?
Such a nice guy. straight to the point, doesnt knock you for getting injured in the first place, just knowledgeable and helpful
All I can tell you is my single experience with TE. After my doctor gave me the choices of treatment, last one being surgery, I thought about it for a while and concluded that it was the result of the elbow joint doing some of the work that the surrounding muscles used to fully undertake when they were stronger, when I used to train. I stopped training for a while and that's when TE reared it's face. Anyway, I started doing dumbbell curls for a while even though it was painful at first, then before I knew it, my TE had disappeared, simply because I knew that I had not done any strength exercises for a while and concluded that my elbow joint was doing some of the work that the surrounding muscles used to do before I allowed them to become weak, even though the load hadn't decreased, I was still doing the same job. So, if your asking the muscles to lift or work more than what they're currently capable of, then you will force the joint to help out, which is not it's job. It's job is for movement or mobility only, that's what the muscles are for. Hope that's of use to someone. Peace.
I'm glad someone finally confirmed my suspicions, Now I can pay closer attention to the other parts/movements than the elbow itself.. Thanks!
Yep. I just got tennis on my left arm. Had it on my right arm about 3 years ago and took almost 1.5 years to heal. I really wish someone would do a video on exercises to avoid during a workout so not to prolong the injury. There are so many trains of thought, not really sure what to do.
I had it bad in both arms for about 6 months. It’s caused by snapping your arms straight at the bottom of a curl, or bottom of a pull-up or at the top of a push up. Fixed it with ice, rest and massage. I learned to control the weight at the bottom of the curl and it hasn’t come back in 10 years.
You think arms staying straight during a heavy rack pull could cause it ?
so like if i bench and at the top of my bench i shoot my arms up that causes my elbow pain?
@@ryanjenkins5450 I don’t know about anyone else but for me, it was the snapping of my arms into the locked out straight position that would bring on the elbow pain.
I am suspicious it was curls that got me in to trouble.. Reading your comment, i"ll focus more on technique going forward
this guy must do very very well. Personal trainer + certified sports therapist + successful youtube channel with huge following + programs/services/website = big bucks
Totally Raw lol why say that
Because no one's life is perfect! Some people have lives that look great on the outside, but you wouldn't know for sure unless you spent 24 hours with them! There are plenty of people who have unhappy marriages who are good at hiding it. Not saying that he has an unhappy marriage, but it wouldn't surprise me if his life is not as great as it might appear.
Totally Raw i never said his life is perfect. I said he must have a baller income. Not sure what your point is still.
I think the point he is trying to make is that Jeff has one HECK of a good looking mom lol.
Of course how do you think he can afford Jessie
I was so amazed by this video, it really makes sense after all that money I spent on PT and on my Orthopedic. Thank you so much for the education.
I sometimes get this in my right elbow. I recently recorded myself from behind doing some different dumbbell raises and noticed my right scapula drifts forward due to an under active trap/ rhomboid so now I'm doing strengthening work on that.
Keep up the good work Jeff.
Wow! After this video, I realized that it's my freaking arm rest on my office chair that's rolling my shoulder and causing my right elbow pain.
Wow, this advice has done wonders for my tennis elbow. I started just flexing my lower/inner forearm and felt immediate relief. Thank you.
I have to say I have watched so many videos about tennis elbow and forearm issues and shoulder pain and this is the only video that make sense!!!! Thank you!
Thank you for the insight of arm movement and what to work on to avoid my son arm getting hurt🙏
Can't thank you enough Jeff. This video helped me overcome my tennis elbow by like 95%. I could barely close my grip on something or hold something in my hand because of the elbow pain. After seeing this video and over the past 3 months I have been focusing on working my forearms gradually and initially the pain was unbearable. Week after week the pain became less until now I can say that I regained like 95% of my elbow health. A big thank you for the effort and help!
Wow that's good how are you doing today?
How are you now .
Aryan Virat my guy ur asking 5 years after I’m sure he’s ok now
@@Riki-sn4wh lool yeaaa lets heal too shall we
Thank you Jeff, you are so so right. I did some rounded shoulder exercises & I immediately felt relief in my forearm. Wow, thank you. No more massaging my forearm.
Love these kind of videos jeff! Good job!
I love the out of the box thinking approach. Brilliant presentation!
I always love these videos because you break them down as these particular issues are experienced and showing what needs to be corrected in form to eleviate or banish the issue.It would be nice to see a few extra minutes showing few examples of exercices to do or try this -example do not this instead do this.It was great seeing where the issues could be stemming from-if you could show examples of what form or example to do to help correct :)
I suffered for years from tennis elbow.
I did a lot of water skiing, and work in a lumber yard. So glad it finally healed.
The explanations really help. When I understand the reasoning behind your coaching about the body it helps to keep them on my mind, and make the right changes in how I work out and work. My favorite channel on the building and use of the body so far.
Jeff, my problem is when I do tricep extensions. What do I need to do to correct it and where is my weakness?
Ray Hernandez still waiting on that reply huh, dummy
Yeah, really good videos and all... but it seems Jeff never answers. Ever.
One of is videos he mentions flaring your elbows out a little on some Tricep exercises. He said it depends on how your body is created with how you adjust..
He explained that its possible that the muscle in question is being overloaded due to a weakness from other related muscles. Find what exercise causes pain, which for me were easy bar skull crushers. I noticed that while doing them I was bending my wrist upward to stabilize my arms and that put tension on my outer elbow muscle for too long and caused soreness and inflammation. I corrected it by tilting my wrists inward, reducing time under tension and adding forearm strengthening exercises. 👍
I feel the need to pay this guy now..Great advice.

Jeff... you have been my savior recently. Everything you're sharing is spot-on for my pain issues. I am no athlete, just a 45yo women trying to start taking care of my body. I've been doing yoga for a year now and recently have been having nearly debilitating pain on the outside of my elbow. Strangely, it's severely triggered when I settle in to go to sleep, with my elbow bent at 90 degrees, hand up by my head, palm face-up. It is always super sore when I wake up and I couldn't (still can't quite) imagine how my bed/sleeping position could be contributing. BUT, after watching this video, I'm compelled to look more at the planks and downward dogs I'm doing in my daily yoga. I'm also a computer programmer so I'm constantly on my laptop. Makes a lot more sense now. Thank you!!
Let’s get the first point out of the way. U r a hottie. Second, athlean man has a vid on sleep positions. On your side, your elbow should be under your pillow-externally rotated.
Thank you so much for all your help, Jeff!
5 years of suffering and I think you've given me what I need to recover. Thank you
Hey, how is your elbow pain now? Did it heal?
Hey, how is your elbow pain now? Did it heal?
How are you now buddy
Did it heal?
He died from the pain.
This video has saved me. I thought i had elbow tendonitis because of the constant harsh pain in my elbow. Ive been resting for over a month and it only got worse! After watching this vid i felt around a bit and realized a muscle in my tricep is really tense and hard, and thats what causing the pain. After 2 days of massage and pain killers its almost gone. Thanks a lot!
HTCFAN HTCforever go see a massage theirpest
I might have the same thing, I barely do any bicep workouts but I always focus on triceps ;-; maybe I have this. Idk if I have elbow tendinitis or this...
you might have saved my life a little bit
Exactly the same for me. No painkillers here, but massage every 2nd day and exercising the triceps 4-5 days a week only doing the eccentric part with slow movement and ligt weight really helps.
Tennis elbow and a hard tricep. Rest and advil have done nothing
very well said, bravo!! Thank you for that video, it was VERY helpful.
I've had tennis elbow for the past three months. My physio has given me acupuncture and deep massage, yet the pain is still there. After watching this video I've noticed a click in my shoulder. I have changed my posture and the pain is less intense at my elbow. Your video has given me hope that the pain will go away and I can get back into full training again. Thank you AthleanX.

Thanks Jeff! Great vid :) can I ask why are you wearing that wrist band??
4 years only one like!so i liked
Raymond is a nice guy, very cooperative.
PT videos are my favorite. Thanks Jeff
Jeff, Can you make a video on solutions to fix these issues?
These physical therapy video's are great stuff, Jeff. Keep them coming!
No
Makes a lot of sense to me. I gave up on the other videos, they only provided temporary relief until I began my next workout, and then my elbow AND forearm began to hurt all over again.. Thank you Jeff....
Excellent source of information. Thanks for posting this.
thank you for this. I workout regularly and have a wicked case of tennis elbow. This helps. Thank you.
Can I ask you, did your pain ever go away? I've got incredible tennis elbow pain, and the thought of being laid up for 2 months without the use of my arm is pretty terrifying and probably not even possible.
I just got elbow pain for the first time after doing some heavy weights lifting more repeatedly. I am advised by Dr. to take rest and use band during day time for normal hands on activities. Also applying gel kind of pain reliever, generating heat, once a time in the night. any other suggestions, welcome. kannanalbs@gmail.com
Can someone please answer me this as im going out of my mind, i have
tennis elbow of that im sure, its only a week or so old, but am i right
in saying that i can do any exercise that doesnt hurt it at the time,
coz the only thing that hurts it is front raises. So can i carry on
training and just avoid thngs that actually hurt it while im doing them
and just do my little tennis elbow exercises on the side to stregnthen
it??
Very well explained. I absolutely agree with your explanations. Good job!
Thanks for this video and some great advice in there. much appreciated.
Hey Jeff,
Thank you for bringing the science to your videos. Very much appreciated. You mentioned not wearing elbow braces to counteract the pains of tennis elbow. Can I ask what the red band is that you've been wearing on your right writst? Thank you.
A Loyal Athlean-Xer,
Stuart
It looks like a regular red wristband to me. 🤷🏻♀️
I get tennis elbow from doing bicep curls.
Like he said its the pronated position, i guess your solution its to use a Z bar.
same there, mate. need to do lighter weight to get the wrist syncing with my biceps strength, i guess. need a big drop of load
yep same! got to spend some extra time and get some popeye forearms 😀
Idk my name whats a Zbar?
Same here I had it for 1 month now.
I just got this ailment.
Such a good, useful video.
THANK YOU GUYS
Finally, I think I found the cause of my issue. This video actually gives me insight. Thanks so much. It helps a lot.
"Do the right things to prevent this problem." - I'm sorry, did I miss the part where he says how to treat these problems?
No shit.... I was wondering that myself
It was probably lost in the ridiculous EcccHhoooo in the room.
Look in the description box. This video here is NOT the video to eliminate tennis elbow.
I waz thinking the bang same
Read the title, is doesn't say how to get rid of it, it says what causes it lol
Jeff, love the PT videos. Can you do one on golfer's elbow? I've suffered from both tennis and golfer's elbow.
You're not rotating the club through impact and your forearms are taking the brunt of the blow
I'm in the same boat
Congrats with 10m!!!!!
Great info. Thanks.
This was the best video I've seen so far about tennis elbow. I'm suffering from it right now. One questions though... are you suggesting that the massage and strap are bad for tennis elbow, or just not the only solution?
Nathan Yoon not the solution. Like he said, the majority of the time it's something above or below that is too tight or too weak and straining your ligaments and tendons.
you're putting physical therapists out of business
N30Nchiken physical therapist half the time don't know how to fix shit. I've had tennis elbow and they told me to ice it and rest. I had to google how to fix it and it went away 3 days later
He is a physical therapist
prince134 , What exactly did you do? I've had this for many years and have done, the injections, PT, exercise, Flex bar, you name it but it goes and comes back more severe each time.
here's several things about relieving tennis elbow pain naturally
apply ice packs on the affected area
consuming celery may be beneficial
take omega-3 supplements
try a hot potato pack to reduce pain
(I learned these and the reasons they work from Secret elbow tactics website )
how did you fix it?
Thank you, I have been finding all your videos really useful and educational. Thank you for your time and energy and concise clear explanations
OMG.. I love this expertise. Thank you so much !!!
OK so what is the solution then ??!! It is been 3 months that I am having this injury !! :(
Figure out what you're doing to cause injury first. Then focus on correcting it. Then strengthen the muscles that support the joint.

I’m doing pull-ups and I believe that is the cause. However I don’t want to stop doing pull ups complete because it is an excellent exercise for the upper body. What’s a guy to do???
Scot Miller Athlean X pull up pain video ruclips.net/video/2_1ylJ-9twY/видео.html
Anyone has fixed it yet? My mother had carpal tunnel syndrome, she had surgery and wasn't able to use her hand for a while. On top of that, one of her nerves in her palm into her thumb was damaged at the surgery, now she can't squeeze her hand or flex her wrist without pain. That has weakened her wrist flexors, and as a result just like Jeff said, she has tennis elbow. Now it is not possible for her to even hold a knife and chop a union without pain, she can't do any exercise to strengthen the inside of her forearm, wrist flexors. That is causing overuse in extensors, hence the tennis elbow. The doctor injected cortisone right into the joint, it might help for a couple months but the pain will come back. Any suggestion?
I must have watched 100 videos about how to fix tennis elbow and nothing worked, it wasn’t until I started treating it as a shoulder problem that it finally went away.
Greg F how did you fix your shoulder problem? I hunk that’s what’s causing my tennis elbow
This is an excellent article. Changed my grip this week. My curls are stronger. Pullups better and the hurt is gone. All techniques. Brilliant.
Thanks, Jeff. I so appreciate the education you provide so we understand what's going on.
hands down the best fitness channel on youtube
can you show us exercises to prevent/fix tennis elbow?
hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out best tennis elbow therapy try Jaffacter Elbow Treater Coach ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.
Warm the fuck out of the elbow.
He has a few videos on how to prevent it.
ruclips.net/video/7kTNk3qEuLM/видео.html
found a really great cure for tennis elbow. place your arm outstretched towards the floor and keeping it straight rotate your palm inwards and flex the palm so it is parallel to the floor (sometimes i 'll hold my arm out 90 degrees to my body instead, (whichever way feels best for you). then using your other hand gently pull the left hand upwards (or towards you if you're doing with arm extended in front of you) and hold for 30 seconds. bout three reps and around three times a day. obviously reverse for the other arm and also you can reverse your palm so it either faces the floor or the ceiling. both ways help. your tennis/golfers elbow will be gone within a week and if you do the stretch periodically wont return. it's the only natural way i found that works a treat.
kev teague I don’t normally reply to comments like this but Jesus Christ I’ve been suffering from this problem tennis elbow for ages in my left elbow, hurt like a bitch to do any form of bicep or tricep exercises, done what you said lying in bed and felt instant relief, will 100% be using this from now on thanks man
Excellent video. Really well described, thank you.
Awesome vid 👍
wow men, one of the most explicative videos i've ever seen, congratulations for what you are doing here
could you talk in your next video about what causes elbow pain after performing bicep curls? me and a lot of my friends at the gym are having this problem, no matter it's free curls of scott curls.
thanks a lot jeff!
Very informative! Thanks for a great video. You mention athletes, but I bet the most common cause of this problem is working at a computer. I draw on a digital tablet every day and have suffered from this pain for years. A practical video for computer users would be great, and one which ideally allows them to compensate during workday and free time with activities or practices or postures that will reduce incidence of this injury.
Hey Laura, I draw on digital table too and I have this pain since March 2018. Did you heal? How are your elbow and shoulders doin?
I have been treated for frozen shoulder for the past few months, never realized that is why I also have pain going into my elbow & forearm , they are compensating for the weak shoulder- thank you for this explanation
Im suffering with tennis elbow and this video was very helpful. Thank you!
Hope I can add to the conversation here! From what I'm finding clinically, the onset of tennis elbow has much to do with subtle *neck dysfunction* . There are still clearly some elbow-specific issues that need to be addressed, but the neck may hold the key to understanding why the elbow becomes an issue in the first place. If anyone's interested, I have put together a simple video for my patients explaining the link and some basic exercises to address! Hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/b2D3-IVAz-o/видео.html
Good video Jeff !
I had a long history with the tennis elbow.
Struggled with it for almost 2 years because it simply couldn’t heal up. This was due to a stress provided to it from my upper back.
A lot of people are having problems with that and I just wanted to state that you should be really cautious about who you trust with your recovery ...
Most doctors will try to give you a syringe with cortison or want to operate to make money
One guy even told me that it’s chronic from now on and that I’m gonna struggle with it for the rest of my life...
Even the physiotherapist couldn’t help me.
In the end it got better when I started to train, basically on my posture, and meditate to get some relief in my upper back.
Tennis elbow can be very bad.
For me the pain started spreading to my triceps, forearms and even my fingers got numb at some point.
Couldn’t train for those 2 years of Pain.
Long story short, I just wanted to say, that you can fix this without any major medical intervention.
If a doctor tells you this, it’s most likely bs!!
How's your elbow now? Its been over one year for me, had one cortisone shot, lasted 2 months.. it's so frustrating for me, starting to think it's now permanent pain and swelling.
I am a firm believer in stretching and natural medicine, the mj helps for my back pain and overall mental health along with stretching. Glad I found this video.
I really need help on how to heal it! I’m in so much pain. I’ve been in physical therapy for 4 months with no difference
Great knowledge sir thank you so much
So awesome, you just helped me identify why my tennis elbow has been going crazy for the last four months. Thank you for talking straight and doing great content!
Right elbow has so much pain I can’t do bicep curls atm.
Even grabbing a bottle a water hurts
Love to be able to get rid of the pain
Has it improved at all?
Any tips anyone?
Improve your grip strength
Nothing helps everything makes it worse even massages
@@kaskovic1993 go and see your physio
Yes nice to know the alternate reasons for the pain...how about some alternate ways, besides proper posture bit, to deal with it:) How about forearm stretches? You know pulling back the hands with extended fingers, arms straight out in front...then overhead in all directions...seems to work for others.
Thanks!
+Ray Clark yes! thank you. All these causes with no more instruction than to "do it right". wtf?
all the stretches in the world won't give the result you want unless you fix the cause
This is awesome, thank you so much. I've been having strong pains in my elbows from climbing, and I actually do have a posture problem that very well could be the issue.
I get elbow pain with bench press and dips on back of elbow. Not at front on forearm
If it's swollen it could be bursitis get to the docs you'll need antibiotics
@@Sumayah88 leave it to the experts- not one thing you said there was correct
Would be great if you could do a video on how to fix medial scapular winging.
I second that request :)
Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN It's either you mid low trap, your serratus ant or both. Try to strengthen those and go from there.
shane hamilton Any push movement (e.g. serratus activation) really makes my shoulder hurt. I feel I may need a second surgery.
Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN Is it the whole medial border of scap (winging) or just the inferior angle of scap (tilting)? If it's a tilt then it could mean you have a really tight pec minor and you'd need a good deep tissue therapist to release it for you + some stretching. It's most likely more than just one thing though and a good PT could prob figure that out for ya. The shoulder is really complicated. Rhomboids could be involved, levator scapula, pecs, all 3 traps in different ways ect... Some things need to be released, some strengthened, and some stretched. It's a hard thing to figure out even if you do know alot about anatomy. If you have been to PT already with shit results find someone whose been doing it for awhile and who is manually certified. Also might try some "Rolfing" but may cost you some. Good luck brother. Shane Hamilton DPT
Wow.. this makes so much more sense!!! Thank you!!
Brilliant video. Thanks Jeff!
Poor posture is the root of most bio-mechanical issues.
So true.
I'm researching relieving tennis elbow pain naturally and found an awesome website at Freds Elbow Helper (check it out on google)
@Yoda gets deeper than that mate. Theres postures for every movement lol
I use power tools in a very repetitive job, that has given me pain in both elbow's and trigger finger ligament damage in both hands. Posture is also a contributing factor of back and shoulder pain. Only 8 year's until I can retire 😀 hopefully not a complete wreck.
@@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641 how bout a theraband flexbar or a nsd powerball?
4:12. There's my issue. Finally! Thank you.
I admire your smartness. Thanks for educating me about this problem.
Congratulations!!!! Strong videos! Very important! Tkss
I don't know what caused mine but I'm finally getting over it after a full year.
Why did it take so long? Were you resting your arm and doing exercises to strengthen your muscles?
Can u tell me what did u do to get over with?? I have this problem for 2 years and....
@@ardalandb5202 I got over that. Took about a year and a half. Just rested, didn't lift heavy, watched range of motion on curls. Wasn't doing a full extension always keeping slight bend at elbow. Just takes time. Don't lift heavy and watch the volume. Rest and time is what it takes.
I keep thinking the skeleton is going to chime in but he never does
Lol
Really helpful bro
This guy really knows what he’s speaking about I fixed like 3 issues so far thank u sir
Some exercises for each area would have been helpful, for strengthening the opposite side of the forearm and the back of the shoulder.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to treat tennis elbow naturally try Freds Elbow Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.
Do rear delt flys face pulls or shoulder rear delt rows for back of shoulder for forearms just RUclips forearm workout and pick ur favorite
Makes sense as I have a back problem on the same side, thanks very helpful
Very instructional thanks
Yo I have ping pong wrist and kickball ankle any suggestions?!
"I went to the doctor and said 'doc, it hurts when I go like this.' he said ' don't go like that."-really old joke. still old today.
***** only pussies don't know the difference between a legit comment and trolling
john hanrahan this was fucking stupid
Eric R Yup! No more stupid than ping pong wrist and kickball ankle. If you had any sense of humor you would know it was SUPPOSED to be stupid. Jeesh! "Lighten up Francis...'
john hanrahan john, just go home. your'e drunk. Eric R's comment was funny. You're just trying too hard bud.
good informative video but no solution... can you give me exercises to fix the problem?
+rosa ampuero I have it right now, and I think its because of my shoulders. They rotating forward, he made a video already on how to fix my posture, I have to stretch and warm up a lot, every sessions and stay away from couple of moves that really hurt me.
Same as i thought, only the cause, no solution.
Solution: figure out in which case you belong to. In any case, always think about strengthening antagonist muscles. If you belong to case 1, think about working out the elbow flexors (and not extensors). For case 2, work out shoulder external rotators. This channel has videos on both.
Amokrane Chentir and don't forget posture too
i agree, no solution. Lots of explaining.
You are an amazing teacher and speaker. Very easy to listen to you. Wise and practical advice. Thank You,
Amazing! These things should be taught from Elementary school! Props to you Jeff, the way you explain things probably saves so many people from long term injuries! I just discovered your youtube channel and I am hooked! :) It feels so empowering to know what's actually going on with your body and to know how to help your self. Cheers!
Golfers elbow!! Please!! I have good posture (no rounded shoulders) and I started to feel pain at the inside of my elbow. Not sure if from the part where the forearm attaches or the tricep... sometimes It felt like one.. others like the other... But I started to feel it whenever I did some "pushing" movements for chest training and then progressed to tricep exercices as well. Never had pain in pulling exercises, like back training, but sometimes felt a little pain with bicep exercises like curls...
Now I think I'm good. But i'd like to know what COULD be the problem.
Thanks Jeff!
Liahnnah did you ever fix this this because I have the same problem
Me too
Hell9?
On my right side I have pain on the inside of my elbow right below the forearm. I can do lat flys, pull ups, tricep extensions, but when I do bicep curls... oh boy, here comes the pain! :(
I have the same exact problem. It hurts also when I try to throw a ball.
Got the same problem doing gymnastic Planche (palms backward).
Sounds painful, I would rest it before pain gets worse.
Oh yeah, it's very painful, I've been resting it for sometime, its progressively getting better. I've done a little research on it, they call it "golfers elbow". Hopefully Jeff would make a video on golfers elbow one day, since it seems to be fairly common. He definitely knows what he's talking about.
Yes he's very helpful
Best information I have gotten about tennis elbow.
thank you! been looking for this for a long time! :D
Hi Jeff... can You do a vídeo about Golfer elbows?
Thanks from Brazil!
8-minute video and not once does he mention what exercises to do to fix the issue.
the title doesn't say "how to fix tennis elbow".... it says "what really causes it"
sh0rtaznant it's funny to see poeple expecting to watch what they didn't in the title hhhhhh...
Watch it again
***** He basically told us NOT to do the exercises which are widely recommended on the internet. So smartass please do a little web surfing to figure out the right ones.
He says to fix your posture and training undeveloped shoulders
awesome. Very helpful.. i now realize the issue is with my tennis serve
this guy is abnormally incredible , thank you!
I got tennis elbow from doing bent over rows.
Me too!
What about pain/ soreness on the inside of the elbow (top middle) after doing many left jabs in one night? What can that be from and how can I fix it/ prevent it? I've been doing kickboxing for about 4 months now but I only feel pain after snapping a lot of jabs with my left. I've been lifting weights for several years now but have never felt elbow pain. Please help as I do not want to injure myself and have to stop training. Thanks.
Sage Enos your throwing it wrong then. search the proper form for the jab. your probably using your elbow to jab and not your shoulder.
Man you say a mouthful. Already every helpful, changed my thinking for sure. Great video
