Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a condition that causes extreme burning pain over the bone at the side of the elbow. It is majorly observed in tennis players and in men than women. Some prevention which one can take is, halting any form of activity that leads to pain and inflammation, applying ice or cold water pack on the problem area, trying to raise the elbow at regular intervals, physiotherapy also helps.

Thanks for the second vote Tim–must be wary of hanging chads! Do you live in Florida? hehehe
Rock on

Thanks for the info Steve–good stuff. All the best pre-hab (I dislike that word) and rehab/corrective work is all for naught if an exercise or a slight mod in your technique is the cause of the issue! Great reminder and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I use a mixed grip but I work really hard to alternate as much as I can during each training session. So set 1 is LHup (Left hand up), then set 2 is RHup (right hand up). This along with some elbow mobility and possibly plate curls works so far!

If people are new to deadlifts I have them pull with both palms down to keep the stress more even.

Rock on!

I wrote about stiff/cramped forearms a week or so ago. Thought I’d let you know on something that’s helped a lot; its something I remembered from reading material by Dave Tate and/or Louis Simmons from Westside. I figure that I must have been incorporating my biceps when deadlifting (there’s so much to think about I do it automatically). The solution? To do some deadlifts concentrating hard on keeping the elbows completely locked. It seems to have worked a treat!

Thanks Chad! Much appreciated man! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter too.

What Z-Health questions do you have?

From what I know about TMR (which is limited to talking to people that did it and their website), it primarily only focuses on cross limb motor education. So if I do only a bicep curl on my right arm, there is an increase in strength to my LEFT arm.

This can be applied to working the “good side” to strengthen the “bad side” If someone reading this does TMR, drop me a line and I will interview you.

Z-Health is working to increase performance by joint mobility (proprioception), visual and vestibular work. These target the nervous system directly.

Sign me up. Indeed I am curious as to what you used! I am interested in Z health as well as Total Motion Therapy; the differences between the two, etc.
Thanks for all your rants/info/comments/studies.
