I learned the hard way that doing the Tyler twist quickly is actually painful and probably counter productive. There's a video on Youtube showing someone doing it quickly. I did it that way for for 3 days and felt like I was ripping my tendons. When I changed my routine and slowly stretched into the twist and slowly did the twist, the tendons felt good and the exercise stared working.
I also stupidly started with the green bar. The red bar was better for me. I'm going to go back to green soon as the red bar gets "easier".
1st week - I followed the Tyler Twist on line with the Green bar. It hurt so bad that I realized I had to buy the red one.
2nd Week - I used the Green bar but I did it so fast that I felt more pain and that the inside of my elbow was leaking. By Wednesday, I realized that I had to seriously slow down slow down and started to feel better.By Friday, I started to feel improvement. I wasn't seeing the super speedy recovery others have but after days of proper use, I could hold my briefcase and open doors and cans of soda without the pain I was having before. I felt so good that over the weekend that I stupidly moved a dehumidifier in my basement and screwed up my left arm again.
3rd Week - By Tuesday, I felt better and started over again. Slower is better. First of the three sets I did had to be done extremely slowly so there was no pain and the tendons got well worked out. The second and third sets always went better. By the end of the week, I started feeling improvement again. I didn't exercise on Saturday.
4th Week. On Sunday, the red bar was starting to feel a little too easy. I'm not going to rush back to the green bar just yet. By Tuesday, I realized it was time to switch to the Green bar. The red bar was not a strain anymore.
5th Week: On the Green bar. I realized over the weekend that having one day off is very useful. I think my arm needs it to recover. I'm also testing my progress with my good right hand. I feel absolutely no pain when I do the Tyler twist with my good arm. I guess I'll know I'm healed when the arms are equal.
6th Week: Its' getting easier with the Green. I'm finding that if you sacrifice some time and do the first 3-4 twists realllllllly slowly, the rest go faster and you make some good progress.
7th Week: Upgraded to the Blue bar.
8th Week: The Blue bar is steadily getting easier. I accidentally helped a friend lift a table over the weekend and felt almost no pain.
I'm going to proactively keep door this and start other tendon strengthening exercises.
Ever since that happened 5 months ago, I have had an unrelenting tightness and pain in my arm, especially when I try to lift anything (even a cup of coffee) or even extend my arm fully. I feared I would never be able to fully extend my ring finger again without that pain.
I’m a 47 year old, reasonably active man, and have pushed through pain before to keep up with my fitness pursuits (mostly road cycling and strength training), but this constant pain was will-sapping. Because of the pain and fear of further injury, I have barely managed any upper body strength training these last 5 months, until this week…
I learned about the “Tyler Twist” treatment from that old New York Times article and decided to order the Flexbar and try it. Hard to believe something so seemingly simple could relieve what had become a months-long debilitating injury, but what could it hurt?
Well, let me tell you, this feels like a miracle. Before going to bed the day I received it. I followed the instructions and did the Tyler Twist 3 times just to figure out how to do it. Wanted to be cautious and not make the pain worse. Figured I’d really get into it the next day. Next morning I woke up and - what was this? - I could fully extend my arm with maybe 1/5 the pain as the evening before. I jumped out of bed and headed to the gym. Though I kept the weight light, I was able to do bicep curls and other lifts without that intense pain for the first time since before the injury. It’s been two days and I feel great.
In sum: Never experienced such a sudden therapeutic turnaround from anything ever. If you’re experiencing this pain that keeps you from doing the things you love, makes you think you’re older than you are, give this a shot. You may be back in action faster than you ever dared believe possible.
