Hey I decided to climb up a rope in the gym the other day for fun and found that it is a great upper body excercise. After about the 5th time up my elbows started to hurt and after i went home they were really painful for about an hour. i assume its the tendons and ligaments because they are not used to the movement.
Ill take a poll here:
1) Continue to climb once or twice a week and expect poain to go away due to strengthening of the tendons and ligaments
or
2) Stop climbing because it is f...ing up my elbows
I personally am inclined towards choice 1 but the reason I post is because I found some website dedicated to rope climbing and the author says that elbow pain is bad and you should stop if you experience this.
