How I Train Around Elbow & Wrist Pain Without Skipping Progressive Overload
Answering a viewer's question about elbow pain and walking through the same three-stage approach I use for my own chronic wrist pain so I can keep training without giving up progressive overload.
I cover dumbbell form and elbow position, why eccentric mode on a smart gym can take pressure off the joints, VersaGrips vs. cheap knockoffs, the stack of wrist guards, braces, and thumb spicas I rotate between, and the heated wrist massager I use on bad days. From there I get into smart-gym software, Speediance vs. AEKE vs. Fit Hub Titan, Tonal-style arms, why I am waiting for a 300+ lb machine, my 240 to 210 lb cut, Project ARIA, and why I disagree with planning a month-long deload.
Personal experience, not medical advice. If you have acute or persistent pain, see a qualified clinician.
