Hurt Elbow. Need Advice. 11-May-2015 At 11:35:49 AM capt_planit

Yep, My elbows require constant fiddly workouts to keep them going. I do a variety of curls and rotations with light barbells (4 kg). I also reel a very light weight up a metre long bar (I hold one end, two fisted, weight suspended at other), then reel it out. Works a treat, but even small injuries seem to knock the stuffin out of them now. I barndoored off a single finger jam and smacked the left one hard enough to draw blood at the crag during the week. End of climbing for that day and four days later it still aches, although the surface damage is long healed. It can take months for the exercises to have effect. Back off or change periodicity and type of exercise if the condition appears to worsen.
