Outside-elbow ache every afternoon at your keyboard? It's probably not the typing. It's an undertrained forearm.
ㅤ
The elbow is just the joint. The forearm is the load-bearer, and most people never train it directly.
ㅤ
Here's the chain:
1. Wrist extensors get loaded all day (typing, gripping, lifting) but almost never strengthened
2. The tendon at the elbow ends up absorbing force it isn't built to handle
3. Result: that dull outside-elbow ache by mid-afternoon
ㅤ
The fix:
→ Wrist extensor stretches, pull fingers down and back gently
→ Wrist curls, to build the tendon's actual load capacity
ㅤ
Stop stretching what you need to strengthen. Follow me, then comment "BASICS" and I'll DM you my Mobility Basics program that rebuilds the weak links 👇
ㅤ
Train the forearm and give that elbow tendon a break.
