Question Thread 22

New thread because the old one's too damn long. Please read the rules below. 

Rules: 

1. Don't reply to my reply with another question. Patreon makes it impossible to navigate and find it once the thread becomes long enough. The email notification doesn't take me to your reply, it just takes me to this thread. Instead, write a new comment/question.

2. Each Patron gets one post per question thread answered. It's not sustainable otherwise. New question threads are made every few days.

3. Use shift+enter to make a break. Don't post an unreadable mess. 

4. Zach Moore and Patrick Tucker are qualified personal trainers. They give great advice/answers and jump in when I'm not around. Alexander Jonathan Leahy is also good. Knows a thing or two about powerlifting. 

5. Don't ask how much you're supposed to eat on training and rest days respectively. We're not here to do math for you. (BW in kg) x 30 is a good starting point for maintenance. 

6. Before asking, please make sure you read Patrick Tucker's LG FAQ. Updated every Friday (weekend in this week's case).

7. Check out Elliott Myers's Google Sheets Log for the RPT diet routine AND Patreon RPT Routine.

8. Check out Zach Moore's LG Patreon Table of Contents

9. Don't ask for "thoughts." Be specific. I have lots of thoughts on countless subjects, but no time to share them all. It's your responsibility to specify which one you're after.

I do have the same issue and I’m only on cutting. I considered using wrist straps for a week to let the elbow settle down. My Pysio friend suggested switching it up with pull ups puts more of the strain on the outer elbow. So I’m very Interested to hear a solution. I once let my elbow get real bad in rock climbing days and that was a big mistake I wound up having to take 2 months off.

Nope, not on CUG. Bulking so been progressing in weight pretty fast and it’s taking its toll on my elbow. I’ll test out neutral to see if that’s better.

Depends, are you on CUG? If that's the case, you need more rest, but if not, switch to whatever grip you can use without pain.

I'll answer the above tonight or tomorrow, but no more questions here - use the new thread instead. (Up in a min)

I’ve started getting elbow pain in my right arm after doing weighted chin-ups. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Would switching to a neutral grip be a good idea?
