How I Train Around Elbow & Wrist Pain Without Skipping Progressive Overload

Answering a viewer's question about elbow pain and walking through the same three-stage approach I use for my own chronic wrist pain so I can keep training without giving up progressive overload.I cover dumbbell form and elbow position, why eccentric mode on a smart gym can take pressure off the joints, VersaGrips vs. cheap knockoffs, the stack of wrist guards, braces, and thumb spicas I rotate between, and the heated wrist massager I use on bad days. From there I get into smart-gym software, Speediance vs. AEKE vs. Fit Hub Titan, Tonal-style arms, why I am waiting for a 300+ lb machine, my 240 to 210 lb cut, Project ARIA, and why I disagree with planning a month-long deload.Personal experience, not medical advice. If you have acute or persistent pain, see a qualified clinician.More from Toby: https://tobyonfitnesstech.comChapters:00:00 Viewer question: training around elbow pain00:52 Why I switched from barbells to dumbbells01:12 Cable machines, eccentric mode, and rep tempo03:49 Form demo: elbow position with adjustable dumbbells05:08 Chronic wrist pain and training through injuries06:02 Why I disagree with planning a month-long deload08:57 My three-stage approach to chronic joint pain09:04 Step 1: VersaGrips and why the knockoffs did not cut it11:42 Step 2: Wrist guards and braces13:18 Step 3: Heated wrist massager16:23 Three-stage recap16:41 Smart gyms with Tonal-style arms28:06 Honest take on Speediance software updates29:05 Cutting from 240 to 210 and seasonal periodization32:15 Project Aria: my AI fitness assistant34:52 What I did after my last wrist flare-up38:30 Knee braces and accumulated training injuries41:51 Make training enjoyable44:46 Intentional training, intentional family time47:04 Fit Hub naming, Speediance Whoop competitor, and Nanos52:44 Why I will not train like David Goggins55:01 Wrap-up and thanksTags: Elbow pain, wrist pain, progressive overload, smart gym, Speediance, AEKE, Fit Hub Titan, VersaGrips, home gym, fitness tech, injury management, strength training
