Elbow tendonitis/tendonosis

I stopped throwing rocks as hard as I could while not climbing and it went right away. So if you like seeing how far you can throw something and your elbows hurt like hell try not throwing for a while.

re-reading this thread this seems to be mostly curative advice - as in a person already has elbow plms and does the reverse wrist curls.

do you think this will work to PREVENT elbow issues? i'm fairly new to climbing/bouldering and have NO elbow plms (knock on wood) - but as i start bouldering more i'm a bit concerned and looking for ways to minimize any future plms.

Yeah... I think it will. It engages the tendons, allowing them to strengthen without building muscle at the same time.

So, my uneducated bet is yes.
