Do back excercises, bicep excersices (expecially reverse grip curls), and maybe buy some fat gripz if you want to go the extra mile. Also, this will murder your forearms https://www.amazon.com/Wrist-Forearm-Blaster-by-GoFit/dp/B0007W2FJA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524865629&sr=8-3&keywords=forearm+workout

Yea, I feel you. I mean, I don't have tendonitis from typing, but I've had it from climbing and it really sucks, no two ways about it nor around it.

1) Mid-term solution: Vim-adaptation

I would, in that case, highly recommend switching to Vim. (not emacs, because that tendonitis will be back from all the C-x C-c C-? nonsense) Everything is basically a small movement of your finger away, and you don't use the mouse at all. These days, that really is the point of vim, is avoiding the restriction of having to use mouse to accomplish everything in a GUI which doesn't have any button-alternatives for UI.

2) Short-term solution: R-keycuts

A vim setup, its configuration and "getting-used-to", takes time, and is understandably a lot to take on. So, in the short-term, as you mentioned -- R keycuts.

The Keycuts can be viewed & modified by CMD+?, then type "Modify.." and it comes up in mac search. In Windows I'm sure there's something similar. They are ultimately stored as a JSON file in the ~/.R/ directory, and so are very portable. Config. your stuff like crazy without worry that you'll have to do it all over again in the event of switching systems. My dotfiles-repo automates this when I switch between macs, using git. But if you primarily work in RStudio, and only have to manage one dotfile, copying it over is trivial.

For example, I have ^P to "Switch Focus between Source/Console", i.e. in RStudio, from editor to console. You can search the key commands more-or-less semantically, if you think about a keyword of something you want to do. Learning keycuts ad-hoc, as ideas arise, is the better way imo.

3) Long-term solution: Fix your tendonitis

Biologically speaking, tendonitis is caused by an inflammation of the tendons. That much is common knowledge. However, causally-speaking, tendonitis is caused NOT by over-use of a muscle, but rather, under-use of its antagonist. Not a lot of people understand this, even PT's, but there is really no such thing as over-use of a muscle, at least practically speaking. They're built to be inflamed such that they encourage the adaptive response. But that adaptive response necessitates fluid exchange with the blood-to-tissue-to-lymph, as the cellular debris of unaligned/unattached or straight-out dead cells must be cleared by Macrophages, which arrive by the blood, and taken into the lymph.

Lymph, however, has no brute-force pump (the heart) like the blood has, to ensure its circulation. Instead, our body's functioning relies upon: (1) valves to trap backflow, and (2) incidental muscle contraction/relaxation, to promote adequate circulation of the lymph, circulating eventually back into the blood after having gone through the filtering/clearance systems in the human body.

Why does any of this matter? Well if your inflamed muscle has a weak buddy of an antagonist, it's going to constantly be winning tug-of-war. Keep in mind that muscles are basically stiff-ish water-bags, that can pull themselves tight. Have you ever pinched a hose? How well does it circulate water? Not well at all. In fact, its build-up will reach an asymptote, and water will just stop flowing even if the faucet is open.

So, to get down to brass tacks, how can you promote the necessary circulation to ensure your inflamed muscles get the debris clearance, and resource allocation they need?

Exercise your antagonist. For wrist-borne tendonitis, it is the set of wrist/hand-extensors, found on the hairy-side of your forearm.

Here is some equipment that makes this comprehendible & convenient:

PLUG FOR /R/GRIPTRAINING. this sub and r/bwf have changed my life pretty significantly. I spent some time there, started getting into grip work and climbing, and now my grip sessions are some of the favorite parts of my week.

also, if you just want to add stuff to the RR, then try hanging a towel from your pullup bar and grab one end in each hand. do that for your pullups and rows. This will be good for finger and thumb strength (and some size, obviously).

The best thing you can do for size is lots of wrist work, specifically. These are the larger muscles in your forearm. As others have said, start working on your falsegrip hang to hit your wrist flexors. There isn't really a good way to focus on your wrist extensors without equipment. So I would suck it up and buy some equipment.

Best things you can buy is a 6lb or 8lb sledgehammer and do sledge levering. Only cost me about $15 and it is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. If you have dumbbells lying around, do wrist curls and reverse wrist curls (you can google this but it's pretty obvious). If not, buy a wrist roller or make one yourself -- you don't even need proper weights for this, you can just put a few heavy things in a bag and tie it to the roller.

Again, wrist work is the most important thing for size so focus on that. Hope this helps.

> I'm worried that I'm going to injure myself if I don't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

You're going to injure yourself if you continue doing something that hurts. Your arm is saying "This is your first warning. Cut it the fuck out". You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. Maybe reverse curls are no longer your cup of tea. You can get an equal arm workout with hammer curls and a wrist roller.

> Should I get it checked out, or wait and see if it stops?

Wait 2 weeks to see if the pain lessens or disappears. A doctor is going to insist on needlessly x-raying your arm. Then they'll order an MRI. A load of hassle and "hmmm huhs" later and they'll shrug their shoulders and say "rest it". Maybe you'll get a cortisone shot and some 800mg Motrin.

Rest it for the time being. I suggest using a Preacher bench in the future if you suspect your form is off. I really suggest you drop the reverse curls if they constantly cause pain.

If you don't want to make one of the rollers, you can buy them pretty cheap. Such as this one from Amazon

u/Michael__Pemulis · 2 pointsr/Cardinals

incline.

i have a weird thing about how forearms are like cleavage for guys, so it is basically the only muscle group i spend extra attention on.

the other great forearm exercise is one of these

u/delecti · 2 pointsr/Fitness

I got this (well really this but you live in the UK and it's the same product). It's about the same price, and less work for the lazy. Though the cable is a bit long, and unfortunately can't be adjusted.

I wouldn't recommend using straps unless you are doing some insane amount of weight. They will hurt you in the long run if you rely on them. Doing something like this would be better in order to get your forearm strength up. Though you can make your own stick with rope for cheaper.

u/oO0-__-0Oo · 1 pointr/Firearms

Find a pullup bar and just hang on it for a certain duration (i.e. one "set").

Something like this:

Do both directions - absolute murder on the forearms (which house the muscles of the hands). Wrist strength is as important as actual "grip" strength for shooting.

If you have a gym membership, you can get into the squat rack and do really heavy barbell holds.
