I've always noticed it during my workouts. I started using elbow bandages, and they actually help a lot. But outside the gym, when I'm not wearing them, I sometimes get that annoying pain in my elbows if I have to pull something. What should I do?

let it rest, stretch 10-40+ secs regularly (4-16 times a day) for a couple of weeks and it will resolve itself, apply comfrey cream
>pic related needs an inward rotation (fingers pointing outwards - so to the right with stretching your right arm)

gradually introduce this load obv

If youโ€™re getting it from squatting you need to Iโ€™ll your grip closer in and keep your wrists straight. You need to get the weight off of your arms and onto your back. You may have to do some mobility work to get this to happen.

Elbow fucks me everytime I start to make good progress on weighted pullups. Then I stop for a while start on low weight again and repeat the cycle. Always at around +50kg.

Yeah that's fine
>stop lifting heavy, just do lightweight shit to get bloodflow to the joint
This is kinda the way, but you didn't explain it very well, you also don't need to back off of heavy work.

glucosamine is a pretty powerful substance

doubt it will solve your problems but undoubtedly is beneficial overall

Take collagen. I had discomfort in my elbows but not exactly pain. Just a really great amount of discomfort.
Collagen somehow got rid of all of that and it reappears whenever im off of it for at least a week.

Stop making it hurt at the gym
Listen to your body dude
Lay off the exercises if you actually have a healthy motivation for what youโ€™re doing, try different ones and at less weight and rigorously assess possible issues with form

Avoid lifts you can tell aggravate it is basically all I do. I've tried everything for tennis elbow and nothing except taking months off lifting actually cures it.

Bend your right arm, take your left palm under the elbow and gently grab at the bony part on the tricep side.
Hold the bend in your right arm and do not jerk, do not grip harder, but keep steady pressure and at the same time push your right arm forward while the left arm constantly adjust its pressure. once again never going harder, but also not letting the tendons back there slip away either.

Once you've developed scar tissue back there it takes years to recover, but good news is that the majority of rehabilitation takes place in the first few months. So you will begin to get relief.
People often think it's tennis or golfers elbow and it rarely actually is.
It's the tricep-tendons into the elbow usually from blasting triceps too quickly during noob gains.
tricep gains come easy and the pain is often manageable so we rarely rehabilitate or stretch our triceps as we actually should.
hints why it's easy to get micro tears in the tendon mass.
It's a really powerful group of tendons (consider your bench, deadlift, etc that holds hundreds of lbs at this location).

If you feel a soft click don't be alarmed.
it's okay,

It is though. Moving my goddamn middle finger the wrong way can hurt it.

I just recently had exactly the same pain in exactly that position.
I don't know if this helps but I treated it like my other injuries, that is to lift lighter but otherwise just stubbornly ignore it until it goes away.

you are retarded. Yes I am aware of how the body digests collagen/protein
Why comment that I am wrong if you are not going to give a solution

Add gelatin, nuts, and fruit to your diet. Stretch as much as you lift. If you only care about the muscle, you might be big, but you'll be fragile.

this. retarded niggers will point out that dietary collagen is broken down into amino acids and then reassembled to create connective tissue, and because they are brainlets (see the multiple stupid faggots in this thread) they assume that supplementing collagen therefore does nothing and you should just eat more meat instead.
What they miss- the amino acid profile of collagen supps mirrors the amino acid profile needed to construct new connective tissue (high in glycine and other shit)
I started feeling minor golfers elbow a few weeks ago from weighted chinups. Since then I've been consuming two scoops of collagen peptides daily, eating lots of pineapple/grapefruit/mixed berries and pain has improved substantially. Prob will be back to 100% in a week or two. Already lifting heavy again.
Don't listen to stupid faggots on /fit that don't know shit, look like shit, and have shit lifts.
That being said if you have a perfect diet, routine and recovery then you don't NEED supplements. However, if you are injured you will likely need elevated amounts of amino acids/vitamins/minerals in order to heal as quickly as possible. Supplements are very useful in these cases.

forgot to explain the pineapple/fruit shit- you need vit C to synthesize collagen. You also need it for your immune system so basically eat a shit ton of fruit- citrus obviously but pineapple, strawberries, mangoes all also have good vit C levels
Pineapple also has bromelain which supposedly speeds up connective tissue healing. Might just be because it helps digest protein, it's the enzyme that makes your tongue feel fuzzy after eating a shitton of fresh cut pineapple

also collagen peptides show up in serum which proves they survive the digestive tract through special transporters

Are there any studies showing collagen protein or glycine/proline amino acid supplementation boosts collagen protein synthesis in tendons/cartilage while any whole protein not doing the same?

It would put this question to rest if we did.

If I buy collagen will it help my elbows heal or do I need to include isometric stretches too?

Each individually is good, but both at the same time is even better for healing. Don't forget vitamin C to increase collagen absorption, no need for supplements, just eat more fresh fruit.

impossible study design. Ignoring the massive technical problems, it would be difficult to find subjects. Especially subjects that would be already doing this for your control group because you can't withhold care from patients.
