Allowing weights or bars to drift into the fingertips during pulling exercises, rather than gripping firmly in the palm with knuckles over the bar, can cause elbow pain.

“I think I used to hold weights sometimes in the tips of my fingers as opposed to in the meat or the palm of my hands. And I had elbow pain. And I always thought that, I felt it most on tricep exercises and pushing exercise and I thought I was doing those exercises wrong.”

“Turns out toward the end of my pull-ups or my bicep work I was letting the weight or the bar drift into my fingertips. and the mere um shift to making sure that my knuckles were well over the bar or that the weight was really in the meat of my palms has completely ameliated that for reasons that you point out and maybe you could just share with us why that is.”
