Lifter’s Elbow: The Cause & The Cure

Here’s what you need to know…

1. A weak grip can equal elbow pain. If you can’t carry a load equal to your bodyweight in each hand for 15 meters, your grip sucks. Farmer’s walks will help.
2. The false grip can boost your maximal strength numbers, but it reduces the capability of the neuromuscular system to produce force through the hands and wrists.
3. If your elbow hurts, use a neutral grip (palms facing each other) instead of a pronated or supinated position in your primary lifts.
4. If you’ve been making one of the above mistakes and have achy elbows, give self-myofascial release a shot
