Flex Bar Forearm and Grip Strengthening Exercises for Climbers 

Yay! I hope it’s been helpful

thanks ! glad you enjoyed it

Thanks a lot! We're trying to create helpful content to climbers :)

For tennis elbow the stretch would be bending your wrist away from the the palm and the sore part of the elbow. Golfers is away from the back of the forearm. Does this make sense? You can also feel it stretching. Once the tennis elbow is gone then the stretch can be included too

Same here, I'm at the 6 month mark in both arms. Did you sort yours out?

discomfort is to be expected but if it flares up you need to lower your reps or check in with a health care worker as to why! :)

That’s awesome ! Thanks for sharing, feedback is helpful :D

in SA I can send it to you - otherwise have a look online. They are easy to find :)

same ^^

@@doofkopf2579 hey, I persevered with it and got better - strong wrists and forearms and my inner elbow is finally getting a lot better. I'm back to doing chin ups with only a slight soreness at the beginning but basically pain free from where I was at the beginning of the year.

@@jimmydigital nice to hear ^^ i hopefully recover during lockdown as well

Happend to me too hahahaha I would started on medium (I do powrlifting and boulder)

🤣

The prewinding adds a stretch :) so in the early days of tennis elbow it might be worth leaving that out and progressing to it

Thank you for your psyche 😃 Appreciated. If you purchase from theraband then yellow is extra light, red is light, green is medium and blue is heavy. It’s almost worth having more than one as you progress or depending on the reason you have it (climb warm up, strengthening, rehab?)

Much appreciated. Thank You.

Hi, I would recommend red to begin with. But, if the bones are weak and recovering from an injury then better to use yellow. Red is for an active female / male recovering from injuries. Green is better for active males, climbers. Blue is the strongest & it is the hardest level

You may need some help from a physio to learn how to set the shoulder first :)

This depends on which muscles are weak! You could try a bit of everything and see how you respond. An assessment is a good idea though, and what I would advise. Sometimes the wrists are taking strain due to reduced shoulder stability - other times it’s just about learning to load your wrists at a rate that gives your tissues sufficient time to adapt and respond in load capacity. The source of the pain depends on you as an individual and your history! A Physio can help guide you through this kind of thing. I’d be happy to help if you need it.

Beta Stash thanks a lot. I tried all exercices of the vidéo and There aren’t too difficult for me. The pain is only on the inside of my wrists and the base of my palms, When i m on them, when i do Pumps or yoga for example...Candice.

Fatigued muscles might not actually be shortened. Sometimes stretching can aggravate but it depends on the situation. It’s all super interesting the more you get into it. I use and advise trying massage / self release techniques to relieve tension, as a general rule for tired muscles :) that’s my own approach - see if it works for you. I only use stretching in specific cases with specific goals in mind :D

The risk is really that you'll do too much, too fast! The worst thing that'll happen from using it too little is that you wont reap any benefit from the flex bar ;)

Rest doesnt really work, unless its in the acute stages :)

Select the settings “Gear” or “Triple dot” button on the video - Playback speed- 0.25.
