You're the first person to ever solve a joint problem for me. I realized my left arm (which was clicking at the elbow) had much weaker external rotation as opposed to my right arm which had much weaker internal rotation. I'm gonna work on this imbalance now. Thank you so much!
I rarely leave comments, but this deserves one. I have had clicking in my left elbow for months doing pushups. I used his approach to find out with muscles/tendons were the issues and it worked immediately. I now have knowledge to start a rehab program to prevent future injury. Best part is it took 15 min to help me diagnose
My elbows pop when I lift kettle bells, but I just tried the three push up test and they didn't. That's weird. I'll try kettle bell curls, then stretch for a minute, and try to isolate the problem that way. Thank you so much for introducing this process to me. I have always been anxious about this one tendon that seems to slide on to the inside of my elbow when I lift.
I've gotten this click during any kind of elbow exercise: curls, pulldowns, pushups, arnold presses, etc. my whole life. Some days on every single rep. I've had people look over and ask if I'm okay. Been going to the gym since high school nearly twenty years ago. Never had a coach know what it was and never thought to google it until now. Bahaha. I'm not sure what to conclude from the video other than changing position could work if you don't like the sound.
For me it was shoulder INT rotator cuffs. Exercises like the self arm wrestle and just band pulls prior to pushups completely made the popping noise go away and made my left arm feel more stable 🙏🏼
Hey, I know its been two years, but my elbow pops even when not doing any exercise, normally it doesn't but if I go to the gym and train triceps, for the next 1-2 days (while I'm sore) it keeps popping every time I do a big motion with my arms, both of them, its getting annoying, it doesn't hurt or anything but it still got me worried, stretching doesn't really help much.
@@MolinariDC2 mine one doing 5 to 6 time when i close my left arm. And then diagnosed for 4 to 5 second and when i try it again it's do again like my left hand poping and clicking all the time. And i don't know what to do
my elbow sounds like a crunching sounds when i move my elbow. it doesnt hurt at all but its louder the more weight so like if i jus move my elbow its really quiet but when i do pushups its much louder. its only in my left elbow and im only 13 years old
I don't know but when i bent my arm like making from straight arm to bend towards my biceps my elbow make snap sound , I don't know why ,its not hurt byt but,why its making like this sound .
I do incline push ups. I do this to learn how to them properly because I can't do them on the floor, my elbow pops every time and it hurts. When doing inclined push ups the only thing I feel is the muscle working out.
Dude thank you so much for this! Like last year was when my elbows started clicking everytime I did a pushup, and stopped doing pushups because of that, but now its fixed in just 10 seconds!!! (You earn a sub for that bro)
Bro, I snapped my left elbow 3 days ago. I was doing push-ups. I heard a "CLICK" I'm stubborn so I ignored it and finished my set. It swelled up a bit for 2 days It still hurts. Not as bad now on my 3rd day but I haven't been able to do a push-up yet. Should I wait a week?
I feel 3-4 pops and slides of tendons when i completely straighten my arm and lock out my elbows....imma calisthenics athlete and im very irritated by this clicking of elbows What is the problem cuz i feel many pops not just a single one
I have a 'popping' sound whenever i lift weights, do push ups etc...basically anything that involves my elbow going past the 90 degree mark to straighten out. It does this every time. I am pretty skinny and can see the tendon in question doing the thing which makes the noise. Unfortunately, the exercises don't improve things. Do i just need to gain more muscle mass before i can 'warm up or re-train the position of things? My elbows are pretty boney.
i cant believe how effective and easy those elbow extension stretches are. i could barely do push ups because how uncomfortable the click was and i did the super rack and it was nearly gone. it blew my mind
I have this exact problem in my Left arm. Last year I pressed myself out of the pool and now I have a dent in my elbow and I still get the popping clicking in my tricep. What have I done to my elbow and how can fix this painful dent?
dude my nerve becomes pinched if i keep at it for too long, which renders me unable to perform my routine as the pain will become unbearable. therfore i’m forced to draw my left arm even further behind to about my core and execute. which makes it harder. why
i looked this up not to watch the video but to say i just realized this does not happen to me anymore, this used to happen to me no matter what if i did a pushup. but it just stopped out of nowhere
my elbows dont click when doing push ups, they click when I do skull crushers. or whatever they are called (overhead triceps exercise) can someone suggest me something.
Sir it's same for doing dumbbell curls (Bicep ) While sitting straight, Then after 2 reps my left elbow pop like a normal sounds, It's dangerous ? I only lift 5kg- 10kg dumbbell.
I get this click whenever i move my elbow upwards, and whenever i do pushups. Ive had it for more than to years and it occured after plating a soccer match. I dribbled past some players but then was fouled and my arm felt pain for a week, even since then i keep getting the click
Mi e pops because, first im fat and trying to get in shape again. Second is they are under train I think. The pops are only in the first sets and stops later on the half of the seco d set. Does it change if the workout I do is more withe kettlebells? When I do push presos with them they dont pop but when I do a push up they pop. Thanks
Great video mate! My elbows click on the 1st pushup and then they're fine. My left shoulder has been making a grinding noise though. Any idea of what this could be and how to fix it??
@@SimpleStrongScience hi, did you ever do anything on grinding? I get this from my elbow and I'm a bit worried...it's quiet but still there...light clicks but if I'm in a quiet room and move my right elbow in a certain way..e.g hand turned in and some flexion then I get an obvious grinding noise. I also am getting a feeling of catching with bench press and dips. The left elbow has no noise at all in any position. I like to train with heavy weights but now am scared in wearing out my joint.
@@aloktiwari971 i am facing the same problem when i lift weight the intensity of sound becomes loud..i am planning to go to doctor. nd r u sure its a nerve problem?
I wish ive seen this when i was younger my elbow cracks constantly and sometime it gets stuck inbetween cracks. I have to crack my elbows like every 20 seconds
bro thank you!! when i started doing push ups i noticed my left elbow started to make a snap noise i was kinda worried and i never thought anyone could fix this. My elbow feels much safer now. But i did started to feel more weight on it after i did the exercises.. Do you know why?
I don't know if you'll see this message, but it can happen, sometimes, that at my first push-up blocks my elbow and makes it crack when I push it further. This happens only on the first push, then my elbows are fine and they don't crack at all anymore and neither any sound is coming from them. Should I be worried about this?
I havn't been able to do a push up in years because my elbows snap and it actually hurts me when they do. It'll ache after the snap for a couple minutes.
Hello just came to this video have been started doing dumbbells and now I have a clicking sound of the elbow it’s not going away and happens every time I tense the biscep or when I lift a heavy weight tried many things but it isn’t going is there anything else you could suggest
my elbow has been popping for a very long time -- maybe 20 years now. I have not noticed an increase in the amount of popping, nor is it painful when it does. It seems to happen about as often as when I could crack my knuckles. Is this OK? The whole "constant" and "chronic" terminology throws me off. Meaning it "constantly" happens a little throughout the day
Once the location of the snapping is isolated and exercises begin, how many times per day should the exercise be performed and for how long does the routine need to be committed to?
@@donaldkasper8346 I can't afford to see a physio therapist because my employer has me working 38 hrs per week and 40 are needed for benefits. I'm looking for ways to correct this problem myself by referring to these videos.
I have a clicking noise when I do a shoulder press,I’ve lowerd the weights but it still makes the same click noise every other rep,do you know why this is?
