My elbows have been come-and-go for almost my entire climbing career, north of 20 years. Most often its golfer’s elbow. The past couple of years my golfer’s elbow has been fine, but I’ve had some tennis elbow flare up as well as my brachioradialis. I found at that time that pullups were making the tennis elbow worse, so for a long time I had swapped out pullups with some hammer curls, focusing on slow eccentrics to rehab the brachioradialis. My tennis elbow is mostly gone, now, so I’ve very gently re-introduced pullups to my routine.
I’ve played with Abrahangs in the past, in fact I did a couple of months of them when my sinovitis was really bad. I can’t say if they did anything, unfortunately. Abrahangs and flexibility are things that I just haven’t been able to make stick.
