Jesus Rojas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 As always, the problem is not the exercise, the problem is the individual. Those exercises can be safe and beneficial if you have the proper preparation but in the other hand if you're a beginner or also someone with bad mobility it will give you problems for sure. I have a real life story for you as an example. My cousin sometimes do some exercises with me when he feels like, that day he wanted to do weighted dips with 5-10kg, I said no but he did it any way. Next day he calls me in the morning because he was worried about a pain in the outside of his elbow. Another point is that I can do a single chin up 1RM with an additional of 25-30kg @65kg without training for it and also just working through pull ups in the L-sit position. So basically if do the right progressions your weighted pull ups are going to improve without training for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's a good idea if you want your elbow pain to get worse! Sarcasm aside, weighted exercises can of course help increase max strength, but mastery should obviously assume pain free as well. If an individual has injuries, it means the tissues can not currently cope with the amount of stress that you are currently putting upon them.

Coach Sommer Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 After finishing F4, i.e. ready to start intermediate level strength elements, weighted work may be added. It is usually a counter productive to add weighted work while still at a beginning level of strength development. Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer p.s. It should also be pointed out that your current struggle with elbow tendonitis is indicative of already giving in to the temptation of training too hard, too heavy, too soon. The last thing you need to do is to make an already bad situation, worse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
