Do you think weak triceps and then doing multiple pressing exercises in one day can cause this pain and if yes will working on making triceps strong will work?
I’ve been searching for an hour and most videos out there confuse Triceps Tendinopath with tennis elbow pain.. this one is to the point and clear .. I feel I just visited a specialist. Thanks for the great content!
I fully agree. Even i was looking for a video for elbow tip pain but there were videos of inner and outer elbow pain. This is the video i was looking for.
UA-cam is full of videos with easy fixes for all injuries and pains for all body parts with all possible types of massages and silly exercises. I wonder if it is the placebo effect that kicks in when I read the comments about how many people have been healed almost instantly and thank and praise those who have this channel for saving their lives. These easy fixes have never helped me with my injuries and ailments I have gotten from training. What has helped is that I have taken the time to help and have started to train again the muscles and tendons in the damaged area with light weights and increased the load as the pain has decreased. It has taken time but it has at least helped me so this video is completely after my heart and is not one of many quack videos on youtube.
100%. I think there are also a lot of fake comments like „I had brutal pain for 12years and now that i made your exercise/stretch, its completely gone.“ That‘s not how the body works. Like you said, a aggrevated tendon can take from 2-6months to heal. The biggest struggle is to find the right amount of loading, which i often failed and even today sometimes fail both with hamstring and triceps.
I used one kettlebell with 2 handa and i think the narrow hand position jacked me up for about 4 months now (I tried to go back too soon). Wanted to see if i keep babying it or just adjust weight and training.
I've been searching so long to learn what my issue was, this is the first video to hit it on the head. You really covered what I needed to know. I was lifting too heavy, too often the past 4-6 weeks. The past week I have stayed away from the weights and just done cardio, this video has really helped me understand what I can do for weights without completely giving them up while I get better.
I did 10 000 push-ups in 15 Days 12 years ago and i still have this issue ever since. I naturally know the problematic angles at this point and try to work m'y triceps with the right angle and effort. Thanks for the extra tips
Ok.. been searching for weeks to find proper info .. this is by FAR the best video I have come across.. thank you for understanding that people don’t want to rest .. train smart ,work around injuries, modify and listen to your body..
@@warrenzobic8908 it is.. much better.. dropped the load with more time under tension.. gave pronated and supinated grips a rest and stuck with neutral grip for 2 months… moved only to 90 degrees of elbow flexion for about 2 months… slowly added them back in and it’s been great… I have also started paying attention to activities in my daily life that contribute to the problem.. like holding my phone in bed for hours in fully loaded elbow flexion… if it flares up I will adjust as I go.. hope this helps
I switched to doing heavy 5 sets of 5 reps for bench press and only increasing load between sessions, my bench has gone up 30lbs in 3 weeks and my left elbow pain while doing so has similarly increased. This video seems to be the most direct for elbow pain rehab, thanks!
@prashantjungshah813 My joint pain ceased by taking 2 weeks off benching heavy and cutting my volume, I was doing like 12 sets of chest to failure every 3rd day, now I do like 5 or 6 and no big issues. I also incorporate light band tricep extensions and rotator cuff/external rotations in at home every odd day or so
After wading thru a zillion articles on tennis and golfer's elbow, I'm so glad I found your video that absolutely nails my symptoms, THANK YOU!! Never heard of Tricep Tendinopathy but that's exactly what I have. My elbow hurts only on heavy bench presses and tricep pulldowns. I fell from a ladder and hurt my right shoulder few months back and while cuddling my shoulder probably overloaded my tricep tendon. Glad to hear I don't need to stop everything, I will follow your rehab plan and report back in a few weeks. 🙏
My elbow tendon is almost healed. I stopped movements that aggravated the tendinitis. Replaced bench press with chest cable flys and tricep pull downs with dumbbell kickbacks. You’ve to experiment with alternative exercises that don’t hurt. I didn’t take NSAID and occasionally used heat to speed up healing. Hope that helps!
@@munatiki ty for answering, i’m glad to hear that. My pain appears only while doing dips so i tried bench press and works fine for me a this moment. How much time did i take u to heal completely?
Thanks won't be enough and accurate for the therapeutic content that you have provided for people like me who just come across this issue. Content was so precise and accurate that I felt like I was having face to face personal therapy session. Thank you so much.
I caused this with all those bar dips and pushups. Didn't realize it until it was too late. Then came the tip of the elbow pain (from about the tip to about an inch or so below it). I think the dips are definitely the biggest reason. What's interesting is that I adjusted to it in the same manner videos like this one are suggesting: Being more careful about the load being placed on the tricep when doing my exercises, doing my exercises slower, changing the angle.
@@kwiwj17731 warming up the tricep more with much lighter pressure at the beginning of the workout. For example instead of doing regular pushups doing pushups with my knees still on the ground and slowly and carefully doing them with much less pressure on the tris. And for the dips start off by standing on the ground and then hopping and putting a little bit of pressure on my tris and then going back onto the ground again before the weight is fully bearing down on them. Then maybe the 2nd set make it a bit tougher. On the 3rd to 5th set almost do it regular pressure like before. Granted I never fully healed it. I can still feel it there. But it's not as bad as before. Also doing triceps exercises just to warm them up as well like reaching for the ceiling then back down.
Awesome! I’m no stranger to physical therapy. I’ve rehabbed and stabilized plenty on my own but this symptom has been persistent. It wasn’t until I reached a point where an increase of weight was needed for any actual gains. My shoulder started it all and after watching this it makes sense the triceps caught the tail end. Began on the smith machine… the dumb one that’s angled. Now I know the proper technique for it but those things suck!

I injured my left triceps doing heavy push downs with cable pulleys causing pain in my elbow. I have watched several videos and this video gets to the issue without having to stop my workouts. I will try and decrease weights and find a manageable level and add stretch bands to keep range of motion. Pain level goes from 2 all the way to about a 8 plus when using.
Yeah I recently did some balls to wall heavy cable pushdowns and I have injured by right elbow/triceps. It never felt bad during the workout, but afterwards and for the past week I can feel the strain it caused. It actually hurts just to touch my elbow against things. It's asif I bruised my elbow. I can feel too that my arm doesn't want to do any triceps work for a while. It feels like it definitely needs time off before I can even think of doing any decent pressing movements with it.
@@Jason-wc3fh Exact same thing happened to me some months ago. Pain from about the tip of the elbow to an inch or so below it. I finally realized it's the bar dips and pushups. Initially stopped going to the gym for 3 weeks. Then when I went back took it real easy on the tricep -- changed the pushups to where I'm doing them from my knees rather than off them, for example, and just going slow and being careful. Definite improvement but fear it'll be a lifelong issue and always something I have to look out for.
@@damienholland8103 3 weeks withouth working the injured muscle could be a problem tho. I'd suggest one week rest and than get back at it, slow and steady just like this video mentioned. It has to be in balance.
I have been suffering from elbow pain in the area of the triceps tendon for 6 months. An MRI confirmed that the tendon is inflamed, and since then, I have been on a break from sports. Massage, ointments, tablets, cortisone, and shockwave therapy have not helped me. I only experience pain with very light exertion, but not at rest. Because of this, I think this video is exactly what I need to gradually get used to loading the tendon and strengthen it.
I’ve had both medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfers and tennis elbow) since back in the 80s, so I’m well aware of both of those. But a few days ago, a new unexpected and unwelcome pain surfaced at the back of my elbow where I could not fully extend my arm without pain. Your video was the only one I could find that addressed what I believe is my malady. So I’ve been self-manipulating and rolling out my triceps muscles and tendons all morning, and it already feels much better!👍 Thank you for your video and for sharing your knowledge & wisdom! 🙏🏻
Excellent video; have been struggling with this in my left (non-dominant) arm for the past 6 months and have realized that it was most likely caused by an increase in my dip/standing tricep press loads with the hope of muscle growth. Stopped pretty much everything that required heavy usage of the muscle group almost immediately with the pain being at about an 8 of 10 initially, but have been slowly regaining my strength and confidence working with load (at about a 2 of 10 re: pain) over the past 1.5 months largely due to the guidance provided here.
I been injured since 2019 fish 🐟 processing in Alaska did it for me the thousands of fish I had to flip depending of witch side of the table saw I was the tips of my fingers were numb for months, my body adapted to all that so wrong I am still in pain, been taking 💉 on my shoulders for the arthritis, and my elbows feel different and uneven. This is the first video I see and thank very much it's has helped me so much in 2 minutes
This video. Love it. The exact issue I have almost on the elbow joint feeling. It doesn't go away and had the issue past 2 weeks however when I do single handed pushdown using a cable the pain isn't there. If I use double handed rope pushdown it hurts. But then when I do tricep dips with my own bodyweight I experience no pain at all. Its like the angle of the exercise will determine the pain on the elbow joint. For me anyway. Great video and thanks
Thank you got the information. I injured my elbow tendon right at the joint while doing pike shoulder press. I was getting anxious and annoyed because it has been about 8 weeks and still not fully healed but thanks to this video now I know that I should expect a long recovery.
I've had this problem for months. It's definitely improved since I changed my approach and reduce the load on my right tricep. The bar dips and pushups have to be the cause in my case. Am similarly frustrated that maybe this will be a lifelong issue and I'll always have to be careful about it flaring up again. Never was a problem in my teens, 20s, and 30s.
Pitching in baseball started my elbow/triceps pain. Throwing in general brings it back and even gripping and lifting heavy can cause some pain. Doctor told me I would have to chose between surgery or quitting baseball. Neither an option I believe in. I’ve been searching for more technical breakdowns of my issue for months and was stuck in a hole about elbow injuries when I should’ve been looking at my tendons, not joints. Hoping these exercises can allow me to train and improve without pain. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I was thinking that my pain was due to tennis elbow, but this video pinpoints exactly where my pain is occurring and helps to confirm that it's not tennis elbow.
My God, thank you! My first time with these symptoms, couldn’t figure out - tennis elbow, saw a video about Radial tunnel syndrome, then found this. It is exactly what it is. Adjusted grip and dropped weights as u suggested. Thank you!
This is exactly the help I’ve been looking for. Thank you for such an informative video. The animations and editing made it even easier to help visualise that mind body connection. Thank you so much! I feel like I should be paying you lol :’)
I noticed you excluded trauma. What about old trauma? I’m having a hard time locating a video for this. I broke the end of my elbow off 4 years ago and had to have an L-shaped plate put in. Now, I get a sharp pain at the very end of the extension. Avoiding this pain has cause significant atrophy in my tricep. If anyone can recommend a video specifically for this post surgery (old) trauma, I’d be very grateful. I’m sure there’s plenty of other people with this issue as my Doc said this is extremely common after this type of injury. My whole body has suffered because I no longer go to my workout group (Camp Gladiator). I need to get rid of this pain and get strong again.
Man what perfect timing…. I was about to go see the doc cuz I never had issues in this area and was wondering that the hell did I do to cause this pain. Thanks coach.
are you better bro? cause i have this pain 3 months and its never going completely and i think i will start doing exercises with out kilos to see if it helps
@ I actually just got back from the gym. It’s not completely gone off the rip. I have to do the specific warm up exercises targeting that area and then I load. After that I don’t feel it. I want it completely gone though. Like having to do specifics warmups to get the tendons warm I wanna do regular warmups but so far so good. I’m open to anything suggestions that might help it go away completely.
@@dimitriskaikkis6226 I tried a lacrosse ball to help stretch the muscle. Just like how you’d use the ball for your hamstring. I did it for same area on the back of my arm. Feels way better. See if it works for you too.
In June, I picked up weightlifting after years off. My strength skyrocketed due to muscle memory, and I was close to doing weight previously done years ago in just about 3 months. Benching went from 185 for 3 to 225 for 3, dips 5 reps to 15 reps. This was addictive and exciting, but my tendons did not come up to speed. I developed triceps tendinopathy and biceps tendinopathy. Learned the hard way. Not going to worry about the weight on anything for a while. Need to rehab and strengthen these tendons
thank you, this is such a niche problem to solve and it is so nice that the algorithm threw this in my face, doing everything right already then, cool :)
This vid comes in handy, i just got chronic triceps tendinopathy (so even worse?) I HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO HAVE SOME SESSIONS WITH PHYSIO, WISH ME LUCK
Exactly what I have. Was going to hard on the bench and tricep. First it was my left elbow and it got better after about two month then the other one went.
I am here because I have made significant changes in Frequency, Volume and intensity 😁. And at the age of 45 I'm no spring chicken. At the gym with my son we thought it would be fun to attempt a full stack (91kg) tricep push down, which I managed 3 reps. My left elbow pain is worse than the right
I'm a begginer in fitness and due to a left wrist injury I stopped working out for three months. Yesterday I thought I was good to go at it again with the same load and rythm and did a push ups set. Today I woke up to this elbow pain in my left arm and it's swollen too, feels bad man
I was getting Triceps Tendinitis as progressive overload started resulting in lifting heavier weights. I had been doing a full body work out 5 or 6 times a week, which means I probably didn't have enough recovery time for the weight I was lifting. So, I did two things. I started using a split workout instead of full-body, and I also started using Blood Flow Restriction training instead of just heavy weights. I think this has helped, but maybe too early to say for sure.
This is literally the only relevant information I found everywhere on the Internet. I've been having this nagging pain especially after push works. Weirdly, it got 10x worse after starting Brazilian Jiu jitsu. For some reason pushing people off of me really busted up my elbows
thanks for this great video. I always feel devastated when I can not train really and these are some good tipps to change up my training once I have less pain.
Hi, I did a few tricep dumbell workout exercises(3 kg dumbell) for a few weeks, not on a daily basis. I would feel a pain near the back of my elbow for one particular exercise. So I stopped doing that and continued with others like overhead extension and layeral raises.2 months after I stopped these workouts, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the back of my elbow and along different part of the tricep muscle itself. I have been doing tricep streches and 3 months later, the pain still is as is. Along with a burning sensation and a knot like feeling near the elbow. I rarely feel a little weakness in y triceps, especially while typing on my computer or holding my phone in front of my eyes. I have not lost any function so far, but the pain/burning is always constant as long as I am awake. I saw a few doctors with MRI scans, but the scans show nothing, no inflammation. Could this really be a tendon issue -tendinitis/ tendinopathy or a case muscle fatigue or something else. Please help since I have not been getting much help from doctors and its really starting to affect my daily chores
great video, so clean and made interesting. ive experienced it after addding chest to wall hspu 3x per week, took them away added tricep isolation and its gettin better.
I think I may have gotten this from working at the post office and casing mail to much. You’d be surprised how much you use your tricep going back and forth. Will def be looking into these isolated exercises. Your PHT video helped me tremendously, hoping the same will work here. 😊
I seemed to injure my left triceps at the end of last year when I started to introduce more heavy singles, twos and threes in the bench as I was building for a max lift. It's not even pain, but more discomfort, but definately need to check it out.
@@NmmmMmmmmmmmmmmm Completely OK, no pains anymore, started to heal when I included more direct tricep work and started to continue training my forearms
@@maqee3240 did you get injured during an exercise or was the pain building up? A week ago I was doing heavy dips and felt this pain on the third rep. I have no pain when resting or doing light exercises but can’t do a push-up or dips yet. Weeks before this my elbow was crunchy but didn’t think anything of it so I kept lifting heavy. Do u think this is a tear or tricep tendinitis? Also what exercises did u so for chest and triceps to not lose your muscle? Thnanks man
@@NmmmMmmmmmmmmmmm It was definately building up but I felt it irritate more after benching with poor concentration (I pushed my left side slower so it became heavier on that side and hurt my elbow)
I feel ya. I was mad at work and had to take the trash out and threw a bag that was really heavy. Now my arm hurts like a b. Hopefully I'm going to not miss any days.
Hey man o reached my peak and then tore my rotator cuff. Due to the expense of the surgery and recover I was unable to afford it and thus still is torn 2 years later and my elbows have this as well. I’ve lost everything. Not just a little bit I’m pretty bad off at the moment so my recovery will be long and far too expensive. Just always remember to be safe and don’t push yourself past what you should. I made the mistake at a younger age and had more ego lifting ideals which has led me here. I pray you don’t have any of what I’ve experienced. Honestly I’d need a professional to help me at this point
Beautiful man, thank you for this! It was so difficult to get an answer for this since I didn't't know the exact name of the injury. I kept getting tennis elbow videos until I saw yours.
I like how *every video* says 12 weeks rehab. At least you put in that little disclaimer "or more". I wish that people wouldn't honey coat it so much. It might depend on age and a 20 yr old *might* recover in 12 weeks, but as you get closer to 50, i'd say you're looking at 6-12 months of daily rehab before you're back to an approximation of normal.
Appreciate the help. I threw a punch, similar to an uppercut, but horizontally to the torso, from a bladed stance, and when I pulled my punch back, that's when I think I hurt it. I've seen mild swelling at the actual elbow, with localized pain at the back of the arm bone, though very mild. I thought I had just pulled a tendon or something, but couldn't find info about it until your video. Thanks.
Awesome video. It addresses exactly the problem/pain I experienced with my right elbow after overloading with incline dumbells triceps extension. It is not more than two weeks since this happened, but I have started to notice improvements after I have carefully started training with light weights triceps pushdown with rope and dumbell overhead press. I will also try some of the other exercises i the vido eventually. I have more faith in careful training of the muscles/tendons in the area where the pain has occurred than massage , ice and silly exercises that relieve the pain for a short while. It has at least helped me in the past with other injuries I've had where the only help I got from the doctor was painkillers
This is the best video I've seen on this topic and I've been researching for a few weeks now. My tricep got messed up from doing too much macebell 360's I'll follow your tips and see how I can. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video! What’s so strange for me is I can do sets of Parallel bar dips with no problem but any type of skill crusher will hurt by elbows for days.
There is more stretch and tension on the tricep doing skull crushes and other movements where the elbow is high. Do movements where u have the elbows lower. You can still grow huge triceps that way :)

@@Jason-wc3fh did the pain go away for you? If so, did you only rest and not go on push/tricep days or you just didn't go to the gym at all?
@@Jason-wc3fh Exact same thing happened to me some months ago. Pain from about the tip of the elbow to an inch or so below it. I finally realized it's the bar dips and pushups. Initially stopped going to the gym for 3 weeks. Then when I went back took it real easy on the tricep -- changed the pushups to where I'm doing them from my knees rather than off them, for example, and just going slow and being careful. Definite improvement but fear it'll be a lifelong issue and always something I have to look out for.
@@damienholland8103 3 weeks withouth working the injured muscle could be a problem tho. I'd suggest one week rest and than get back at it, slow and steady just like this video mentioned. It has to be in balance.
Hi! Now that its been 1 year+, do you have any results?
Guys y'all are some of the best on the internet. Thank y'all
OMG how have you just diagnosed me perfectly
Very helpful. Overhead dumbbell extension and dips aggravate mine the most. It has been an issue for over thirty years. Thanks
I have been suffering from elbow pain in the area of the triceps tendon for 6 months. An MRI confirmed that the tendon is inflamed, and since then, I have been on a break from sports. Massage, ointments, tablets, cortisone, and shockwave therapy have not helped me. I only experience pain with very light exertion, but not at rest. Because of this, I think this video is exactly what I need to gradually get used to loading the tendon and strengthen it.
How‘s it going?
I’ve had both medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfers and tennis elbow) since back in the 80s, so I’m well aware of both of those.
But a few days ago, a new unexpected and unwelcome pain surfaced at the back of my elbow where I could not fully extend my arm without pain.
Your video was the only one I could find that addressed what I believe is my malady.
So I’ve been self-manipulating and rolling out my triceps muscles and tendons all morning, and it already feels much better!👍
Thank you for your video and for sharing your knowledge & wisdom! 🙏🏻
how can someone be that good.?
listening to him make me realize that i am now myself a trainer in the gym.
Excellent video; have been struggling with this in my left (non-dominant) arm for the past 6 months and have realized that it was most likely caused by an increase in my dip/standing tricep press loads with the hope of muscle growth.
Stopped pretty much everything that required heavy usage of the muscle group almost immediately with the pain being at about an 8 of 10 initially, but have been slowly regaining my strength and confidence working with load (at about a 2 of 10 re: pain) over the past 1.5 months largely due to the guidance provided here.
Just stretch and message you triceps and the pain goes away
Not forever though
I been injured since 2019 fish 🐟 processing in Alaska did it for me the thousands of fish I had to flip depending of witch side of the table saw I was the tips of my fingers were numb for months, my body adapted to all that so wrong I am still in pain, been taking 💉 on my shoulders for the arthritis, and my elbows feel different and uneven. This is the first video I see and thank very much it's has helped me so much in 2 minutes
I recently experienced this after doing too many skull crushers, really annoying and still feeling slight pain after 3 months, thanks for the video!
Hello, I am expereicing same kind of pain, is it gone now?
This is amazing. So informative and detailed. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
You’ve gained a subscriber!
This video. Love it. The exact issue I have almost on the elbow joint feeling. It doesn't go away and had the issue past 2 weeks however when I do single handed pushdown using a cable the pain isn't there. If I use double handed rope pushdown it hurts. But then when I do tricep dips with my own bodyweight I experience no pain at all. Its like the angle of the exercise will determine the pain on the elbow joint. For me anyway. Great video and thanks
Yeah dips somehow felt good for me too but then I tried doing it on rings and now my tendons are on fire , can't do dips no more lmao
did this work?
Thank you got the information. I injured my elbow tendon right at the joint while doing pike shoulder press. I was getting anxious and annoyed because it has been about 8 weeks and still not fully healed but thanks to this video now I know that I should expect a long recovery.
Hey the same about me also about 8 weeks of elbow pain... the pain always return back in the morning dont know what to dooo
I've had this problem for months. It's definitely improved since I changed my approach and reduce the load on my right tricep. The bar dips and pushups have to be the cause in my case.
Am similarly frustrated that maybe this will be a lifelong issue and I'll always have to be careful about it flaring up again. Never was a problem in my teens, 20s, and 30s.
Same issue. If i Take rest pain will go. Staring workout mean pain will come. No idea hope it will not be lifelong
Pitching in baseball started my elbow/triceps pain. Throwing in general brings it back and even gripping and lifting heavy can cause some pain. Doctor told me I would have to chose between surgery or quitting baseball. Neither an option I believe in. I’ve been searching for more technical breakdowns of my issue for months and was stuck in a hole about elbow injuries when I should’ve been looking at my tendons, not joints. Hoping these exercises can allow me to train and improve without pain. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I was thinking that my pain was due to tennis elbow, but this video pinpoints exactly where my pain is occurring and helps to confirm that it's not tennis elbow.
Te might come next
My God, thank you! My first time with these symptoms, couldn’t figure out - tennis elbow, saw a video about Radial tunnel syndrome, then found this. It is exactly what it is. Adjusted grip and dropped weights as u suggested. Thank you!
You’re the only one who has tricep tendon exercises! Thank you!
youve saved me so much time and this was so helpful thank you!!
did this work?
So hard to find information on this, thank you!!
Such a helpful video. I plan to implement some of these exercises into my routine and see how it helps. Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly the help I’ve been looking for. Thank you for such an informative video. The animations and editing made it even easier to help visualise that mind body connection.
Thank you so much! I feel like I should be paying you lol :’)
This video is god send. Please coach one for quad tendonitis as well I can only find videos which are for patterlar tendon rather than above the knee.
We will likely make a vide on that topic in the next 3-6 months.
@@E3Rehab Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it.
Very specific and detailed video on a generalized nuisance topic... Just felt like someone heard my elbows pain
I noticed you excluded trauma. What about old trauma? I’m having a hard time locating a video for this. I broke the end of my elbow off 4 years ago and had to have an L-shaped plate put in. Now, I get a sharp pain at the very end of the extension. Avoiding this pain has cause significant atrophy in my tricep.
If anyone can recommend a video specifically for this post surgery (old) trauma, I’d be very grateful. I’m sure there’s plenty of other people with this issue as my Doc said this is extremely common after this type of injury. My whole body has suffered because I no longer go to my workout group (Camp Gladiator). I need to get rid of this pain and get strong again.
This is exactly what I was looking for. This is very helpful 🎉
Man what perfect timing…. I was about to go see the doc cuz I never had issues in this area and was wondering that the hell did I do to cause this pain. Thanks coach.
are you better bro? cause i have this pain 3 months and its never going completely and i think i will start doing exercises with out kilos to see if it helps
@ I actually just got back from the gym. It’s not completely gone off the rip. I have to do the specific warm up exercises targeting that area and then I load. After that I don’t feel it. I want it completely gone though. Like having to do specifics warmups to get the tendons warm I wanna do regular warmups but so far so good. I’m open to anything suggestions that might help it go away completely.
@@dimitriskaikkis6226 I tried a lacrosse ball to help stretch the muscle. Just like how you’d use the ball for your hamstring. I did it for same area on the back of my arm. Feels way better. See if it works for you too.
In June, I picked up weightlifting after years off. My strength skyrocketed due to muscle memory, and I was close to doing weight previously done years ago in just about 3 months. Benching went from 185 for 3 to 225 for 3, dips 5 reps to 15 reps. This was addictive and exciting, but my tendons did not come up to speed. I developed triceps tendinopathy and biceps tendinopathy. Learned the hard way. Not going to worry about the weight on anything for a while. Need to rehab and strengthen these tendons
thank you, this is such a niche problem to solve and it is so nice that the algorithm threw this in my face, doing everything right already then, cool :)
This was honestly very helpful, thank you.
This is the best elbow tendonitis video on UA-cam thanks .❤️
All the topics that need to be covered to understand it are described, why and how it may have happened, how and what to do to rehab. Perfect thanks
did this work?
This vid comes in handy, i just got chronic triceps tendinopathy (so even worse?) I HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO HAVE SOME SESSIONS WITH PHYSIO, WISH ME LUCK
oh my god is this what i have been looking for for years
Exactly what I have. Was going to hard on the bench and tricep. First it was my left elbow and it got better after about two month then the other one went.
This is excellent. Clearly and accurately described my symptoms. Thank you I'll be using this to rehab.
did this work?
What helped me was an excercise with light weight and only focusing on the eccentric phase. I noticed almost instant improvements.
is your pain completely gone now?
Thanks man. Thats exactly what i needed right now
I am here because I have made significant changes in Frequency, Volume and intensity 😁. And at the age of 45 I'm no spring chicken. At the gym with my son we thought it would be fun to attempt a full stack (91kg) tricep push down, which I managed 3 reps. My left elbow pain is worse than the right
A very informative piece on this injury and rehab suggestions. Thanks Mate.
I'm a begginer in fitness and due to a left wrist injury I stopped working out for three months.
Yesterday I thought I was good to go at it again with the same load and rythm and did a push ups set. Today I woke up to this elbow pain in my left arm and it's swollen too, feels bad man
Best explanation I’ve seen for this. Thanks
This is one of the best channel i have ever seen
Such a great explanation thank you i will recover soon 🙏
2 physiotherapist < this channel 💯💪
I was getting Triceps Tendinitis as progressive overload started resulting in lifting heavier weights. I had been doing a full body work out 5 or 6 times a week, which means I probably didn't have enough recovery time for the weight I was lifting. So, I did two things. I started using a split workout instead of full-body, and I also started using Blood Flow Restriction training instead of just heavy weights. I think this has helped, but maybe too early to say for sure.
Hey bro. Did you fix it?
This is literally the only relevant information I found everywhere on the Internet. I've been having this nagging pain especially after push works. Weirdly, it got 10x worse after starting Brazilian Jiu jitsu. For some reason pushing people off of me really busted up my elbows
did this work?
thanks for this great video. I always feel devastated when I can not train really and these are some good tipps to change up my training once I have less pain.
did this work?
Hi, I did a few tricep dumbell workout exercises(3 kg dumbell) for a few weeks, not on a daily basis. I would feel a pain near the back of my elbow for one particular exercise. So I stopped doing that and continued with others like overhead extension and layeral raises.2 months after I stopped these workouts, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the back of my elbow and along different part of the tricep muscle itself. I have been doing tricep streches and 3 months later, the pain still is as is. Along with a burning sensation and a knot like feeling near the elbow. I rarely feel a little weakness in y triceps, especially while typing on my computer or holding my phone in front of my eyes. I have not lost any function so far, but the pain/burning is always constant as long as I am awake. I saw a few doctors with MRI scans, but the scans show nothing, no inflammation. Could this really be a tendon issue -tendinitis/ tendinopathy or a case muscle fatigue or something else.
Please help since I have not been getting much help from doctors and its really starting to affect my daily chores
this is exactly what i've been looking for
great video, so clean and made interesting. ive experienced it after addding chest to wall hspu 3x per week, took them away added tricep isolation and its gettin better.
Is anconeus pain common in thus case, ive hab some too?
I think I may have gotten this from working at the post office and casing mail to much. You’d be surprised how much you use your tricep going back and forth. Will def be looking into these isolated exercises. Your PHT video helped me tremendously, hoping the same will work here. 😊
This is someone who knows exactly what he’s saying
Great video and explanation. Any advice for audible snapping from tendon during some exercises?
I seemed to injure my left triceps at the end of last year when I started to introduce more heavy singles, twos and threes in the bench as I was building for a max lift. It's not even pain, but more discomfort, but definately need to check it out.
how are u now?
@@NmmmMmmmmmmmmmmm Completely OK, no pains anymore, started to heal when I included more direct tricep work and started to continue training my forearms
@@NmmmMmmmmmmmmmmm So my guess is that the pain was because of some tightness in the forearm etc
@@maqee3240 did you get injured during an exercise or was the pain building up? A week ago I was doing heavy dips and felt this pain on the third rep. I have no pain when resting or doing light exercises but can’t do a push-up or dips yet. Weeks before this my elbow was crunchy but didn’t think anything of it so I kept lifting heavy. Do u think this is a tear or tricep tendinitis? Also what exercises did u so for chest and triceps to not lose your muscle? Thnanks man
@@NmmmMmmmmmmmmmmm It was definately building up but I felt it irritate more after benching with poor concentration (I pushed my left side slower so it became heavier on that side and hurt my elbow)
I was just getting stronger and then this happened 😢😢😢
I feel ya. I was mad at work and had to take the trash out and threw a bag that was really heavy. Now my arm hurts like a b. Hopefully I'm going to not miss any days.
Hey man o reached my peak and then tore my rotator cuff. Due to the expense of the surgery and recover I was unable to afford it and thus still is torn 2 years later and my elbows have this as well. I’ve lost everything. Not just a little bit I’m pretty bad off at the moment so my recovery will be long and far too expensive. Just always remember to be safe and don’t push yourself past what you should. I made the mistake at a younger age and had more ego lifting ideals which has led me here. I pray you don’t have any of what I’ve experienced. Honestly I’d need a professional to help me at this point
Amazing content with quality information, just what I needed 💯
Beautiful man, thank you for this! It was so difficult to get an answer for this since I didn't't know the exact name of the injury. I kept getting tennis elbow videos until I saw yours.
I like how *every video* says 12 weeks rehab. At least you put in that little disclaimer "or more". I wish that people wouldn't honey coat it so much. It might depend on age and a 20 yr old *might* recover in 12 weeks, but as you get closer to 50, i'd say you're looking at 6-12 months of daily rehab before you're back to an approximation of normal.
Appreciate the help. I threw a punch, similar to an uppercut, but horizontally to the torso, from a bladed stance, and when I pulled my punch back, that's when I think I hurt it. I've seen mild swelling at the actual elbow, with localized pain at the back of the arm bone, though very mild.
I thought I had just pulled a tendon or something, but couldn't find info about it until your video. Thanks.
god bless you sir.
The thing i am not improving on my bench so i tried pushing exercises super hard thank you so much for this.
Awesome video. It addresses exactly the problem/pain I experienced with my right elbow after overloading with incline dumbells triceps extension. It is not more than two weeks since this happened, but I have started to notice improvements after I have carefully started training with light weights triceps pushdown with rope and dumbell overhead press. I will also try some of the other exercises i the vido eventually. I have more faith in careful training of the muscles/tendons in the area where the pain has occurred than massage , ice and silly exercises that relieve the pain for a short while. It has at least helped me in the past with other injuries I've had where the only help I got from the doctor was painkillers
did this work?
Yes, it has at least helped me because I am completely fine now
I liked your explanation in the beginning
this is an AMAZING video, im going to try it out at the gym today. THANK YOU
My tennis elbow started when i added dumbbell skull crushers to my tricep workout. Used ez bar for skull crushers for 30+ years and never had a issue.
Thank you so much for this ❤
Omg this is what I have. I live with 3 out of 10 pain
I stopped going to the gym for two months and I still have pain. I hope this works 😢
This is the best video I've seen on this topic and I've been researching for a few weeks now. My tricep got messed up from doing too much macebell 360's
I'll follow your tips and see how I can. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the update ❤
Thank you for the video! What’s so strange for me is I can do sets of Parallel bar dips with no problem but any type of skill crusher will hurt by elbows for days.
Same problem is with me
Rav, and you tried various grip positions eg neutral grip using dumbbells?
There is more stretch and tension on the tricep doing skull crushes and other movements where the elbow is high. Do movements where u have the elbows lower. You can still grow huge triceps that way :)
I am having the same pain, i will follow the exercise what you shown
Tried reverse grip bench press. It immediately gave me this. I didn't even go hard, and was warmed up. It just felt wrong, and it obviously was
Very enjoyable and informative clip, thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, plain and simple
