Short Class 56: Elbow Pronation
Class Focus: WRIST, ELBOW & HAND
•
25m
This will be a single joint focus class for Elbow Pronation
Equipment needed: A short stick.
Elbows are typically undertrained in most strength programs, and they’re often asked to absorb a lot of force in conventional movements. For those who have limitations in their pronation this can become problematic over time. When we look at certain movements like bench press, pull-ups, wide grip rows, tricep pushdowns, pushups, handstands, etc. - the elbow needs to have a sufficient amount of pronation. So if you’re limited here, this class will be great for you.
We’ll be working 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our pronation base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much or if this is an area that's been problematic for you, maybe just stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If this is an area of past injury or weakness - make sure to keep your intensity levels low, especially during PAILs/RAILs. It’s important to gradually build up the intensity and volume over time, as the tissue in this area could be weak and may not be able to withstand high levels of force quite yet. Start off slow, listen to your body, and gradually build up.
Hope you enjoy the elbow gains!

I’ve had a few students ask for a class for finger CARs, so here it is.
The fingers/hand can be an area where the tissue quality is weak since we don’t often train these areas specifically. If you need to, keep your intensity levels low and try not to push you...
