Hi all,
My elbows start to complain if my pull-ups or chin ups exceed a certain volume threshold (generally around 30 or so in a session).
I have tried various tactics, slow and steady, breaking down the reps in varied ways (ladders, gtg etc) rotations of grips etc but elbows just do not seem to like the volume, beyond a certain point.
I wondered if anyone else has found this and any workarounds you can suggest?
My own approach includes a modified Fighter Pull Up approach (3-4 sets instead of 5, less days per week) and setting lower limit targets in sessions (i.e. 25-30 reps in as few sets as possible across a practice, clusters, static holds etc).
I’m still keen to build my 1 set numbers (which are modest by SF standards but in double digits) up a bit further, with controlled reps but whilst staying healthy.
Thanks.
