Have a question about training, recovery, programming, or diet? This is the place to ask

No question is too basic or too advanced. Whether you're new to strength training or a seasoned lifter troubleshooting sticking points, ask away.

Folks feel free to jump in with answers too

Yeah I was talking about overhand being the culprit, in my case at least. You can try mixing it up (over/under/neutral) or just going with neutral grip the whole time and see how those elbows feel? Rings work well too as they rotate naturally through the movement

Hmm yeah, I think rings will be the move. I already have em 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! Cheers on the community too, hope it grows :)
