How to train with golfer's elbow?

When dealing with golfer's elbow and continuing to train, particularly with exercises like deadlifts, here are some key considerations and recommendations from the Mind Pump Podcast:

1. Avoid Aggravating Exercises: Avoid exercises that require a strong grip or involve pulling, as these can aggravate golfer's elbow. If you continue, focus on technique and use lighter weights 1.

2. Use Supportive Gear Temporarily: Utilizing wrist wraps can help reduce the stress on the golfer's elbow during workouts. However, this is intended as a temporary solution while you work on healing the elbow 1.

3. Anti-Inflammatory Supplements: Supplementing with natural anti-inflammatories like bromelain on an empty stomach can help reduce inflammation, but won't solve the underlying issue 1.

4. Deep Tissue Massage: Regular deep tissue massage on the forearms can significantly aid in recovery from golfer's elbow 2.

5. Rice Bucket Training: For strengthening weak hands and wrists, rice bucket training can be beneficial. It involves moving your hands through rice in a bucket, which provides resistance and helps strengthen the muscles around the elbow 3.

6. Allow Proper Healing: It's crucial to allow the elbow to heal fully before resuming intense exercises. Continuing to stress a partially healed injury can prolong recovery 1.

7. Reduce Intensity: If continuing to exercise, significantly reduce the intensity of your workouts to prevent further aggravation of the condition 2.

Remember, while you can manage symptoms and continue some form of training, addressing the root cause and allowing adequate time for healing is key to recovery.
