Blaizen Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ok so i have tendonitis in my forearms, one more so than the other. I've done physio etc. and have slowly been building my upperbody workouts back up to where they should be particularly when it comes to trying to develop chins and pullups. Problem is, with a proper pull up, plams facing away from me, it still hurts too much. I have one of those door frame pull up bars (similar to iron horse or whatever it's called). I can do chin ups and can do what i think of as neutral grip pull ups (palms facing each other) but a proper pull up is still painful, to the point of not worth doing cause it can wreck me. So does anybody have any advice, technique tips or some exercises i could be doing to help boost the recovery and my ability to master the mighty pull up with proper form?

Because the bar is in the way, this puts some stress on your tendons. Doing pullups on a pair of gymnastic rings ought to give your forearms some relief. Quote Quare? Quod vita mea non tua est.
