CONTEXT:
- Did Starting Strength for about 6 months, managed to get excellent progress. I have to do a front squat because of 2 screws that I have in my shoulder (limits my shoulder mobility)
- I am struggling with a tennis elbow for a 2 months now. Initially it hurt everywhere, now is does not hurt on a daily basis at all, but it whenever I try to grip the bar (even an empty bar) in the PRONATED grip form and lift it from the floor (as I would for a Barbell Row or for a Deadlift). When I grip the bar in the supinated form, it does not hurt much.
- I tried ultrasound therapy for 10 times (as recommended by traumatologist), but it did not help much. Still struggle when I want to do a Barbell Row or a Deadlift
- I want to try Rip's Pin Firing protocol. I will do it with a lat pulldown machine (I am not even close to doing a proper chin-up)
QUESTION:
- If the pronated grip is the one causing pain, should I replace chin-up grip with pull-up grip in the Pin Firing protocol? (remember - I will be doing these movements on the lat pulldown machine)
Thank you for any relevant input.
Both the medial and lateral epicondyles are worked with a supine grip, so use that one.
