Bit pissed off by setting my elbow back on Tuesday by what feels like about a month, odd that just a few pull ups seemed to be the trigger (chin ups seem fine),
T Eve. Weighted deadhangs on Ergo Edge. FC,HC and Drag3x 1pull up then 10, 10 secs at BW, +12.5kg FC,HC&D 3x1pull up then 9, 7and 10 sec hang.+17.5kg FC,HC and Drag 3x1 pull up then 7,7 and 8? +22.5kg 3x1 pull-up (dinner)then FC 3 and then failed next go to even hang so stopped
Little else to report. Got some naproxen from the docs (who thinks pain in ribs is inflamed cartilage) which has helped but I still can't climb.

Got some naproxen from the docs (who thinks pain in ribs is inflamed cartilage) which has helped but I still can't climb.I suffered costochondritis around 4 or 5 years ago, but for me the pain was the located at the sternum, which I think is typical. As for soft tissue injuries like golfers elbow, rest helped, but then the pain returned as soon as I started doing anything again. After a deep dive on the internet, I started doing an exercise/stretch called the German hang and this cleared it up for good. Since your pain isn't located at the sternum, German hangs might not help, but the point is that strengthening/mobilising the area could help. On the basis that your pain is at the side, I'd consider trying to gradually load some exercises that work the serratus and intercostal muscles. Perhaps scapular push ups progressing to scapular dips?

You do a pull up and then hang for 10 secs?What sort of % of max hang weight is this at? I can't imagine getting anywhere near 100% max hang if I'm doing a pullup too (should I be?!), so perhaps some good gains to be had here for me
