So I did the resistance band ( extension more) and massage ball. My degree and range of motion improved dramatically! Thanks for these exercises! I’m a bjj athlete and got arm bared. Just remember guys, you don’t fix elbow injuries over night. Stay consistent, active, and take rehab serious to get back to 100%

just found this video a year after my accident. completely shattered my elbow, and never thought i would get full flexion and extension back, let alone be pain free. thank you so much for this!!

Absolute game changer for me! Handstands, I was collapsing on my elbows, now I can feel the weight and stabily through my shoulders. Snatch and overhead is more positive. This has been one of the stretches to have the biggest impact on my training. Really grateful for this video! ❤

So happy to see the patients improvement !

I'm a fan of shoulder mobility but I remember I struggled with tricep tendonitis from heavy benching. Always warm up especially when you're older.

I’ve had this issue going on 4 years or so now. Will give this a try. Thank you!

[keithmackenzie]

I have the same issue! I’m going to try this.

fantastic self mobilization similar to one i’ve seen and used to improve TCJ DF. Will def implement this in my practice.

[bennygilligan]

This is fantastic I suffer from the same elbow problem, its actually from playing rugby I'm definitely going to try this 😀.

[NotGhengis]

I have the same problem. Thank you so much!

Lacking about 20 degrees of extension at the moment, a couple of months after dislocation. Thanks for giving me a bit of hope.

[julienjohnston]

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Would love to learn more from you

[Jaywrites]

I would love to see the exercises done to continue strengthening. Thanks in advance!

[ronbeezy]

Omg thanks for sharing I need this for my left elbow

[fly]

Thanks for the video, maybe you can make a video about the rehab process after a simple elbow dislocation. Like after 3 weeks what type of rehab an after6 weeks what exercises etc❤

[RichObiQuan]

I need this. Especially after a bad fall from playing football on my elbow

i wasted a fortune on guys like you until i went to a surgeon the MRI scan showed the hook on that goes threw the hole in bone on elbow joint the hole was sealed up with broken bone chips they had remove bone chips and drilled out the hole, its first time my arm looks almost straight in 25 yrs and im elbow pain free now .

[Chopsey]

im 16 and i have whatever this is in my right arm i dont even know how it happened but ill give this a go

[IntegralEarthling]

I had no injury, but both of my elbows are hipoextended. I am doing Animal Flow & I am supposed to fully extend & externally rotate my elbows, specially during Tuck Balance (Handstand). Will try these out & see if I get somewhere with these. Super grateful, loving the "Rebuilding Milo" book, so far! Much Love

Could you make a video on how to fix bad posture? Specifically rounded shoulders ? Thank you!
