odin Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 For me at least - I found the rotational levering did me the most good but of course what does someone the most good is what addresses that persons weakness - if you're not weak there, then your benefit would be less of course. Chris, About 2 weeks ago I just started taking a light, short broomstick and have been rotating my wrist left and right as far as possible with my arm straight (pronation & supination) because it seemed to make intuitive sense to help my elbow; I'll search for "rotational levering" after I'm done working out, just resting between sets now. At first it killed the elbow when I tried it choked up on a light sledge, which led to the wimpy broomstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Make yourself a one ended dumbbell so to speak. I just took a piece of 1" steel and using two collars, I put a couple small plates on one end and then you can slide your hand up and down as well as change the plates to vary the resistance. I have two - one is 16" and one is 24" but you really only need one if you slide your hand up and down - a sledge is just too long and kind of awkward for me.

I think I might be able to improvise something like that. Are your elbows and wrists pretty healthy? Can you do wrist curls, and variations of regular barbell curls, etc. without discomfort as a result of the "prehab" work you are doing? Thanks for the ideas and advice Chris.
