Hey Tom,

Matt is correct here… take your bodyweight in pounds, multiply it by 50% = the number of ounces of water you should drink daily (roughly).

This is a general guideline and should be adjusted based on the context surrounding your life… changing activity levels, weather/temperature/climate, and certain medical conditions will require more/less hydration.

Hey Max,

Great additions! Those are two exercises I include in athletes training program’s weekly. Definitely can be beneficial for those battling golfer’s elbow.

However, daily facia massage using some kind of tool like the ones they would use in physical therapy. There are some handy gadgets out there. Also, YouTube castor oil wrapping. This magical liquid has been around a long time and contains fatty minerals that absorb through the skin and literally lubricate and relax the affected tendons. No joke. I am not a doctor. :D

I would add from my experience that what helped me a lot was improving grip strength which I believe takes a bit of the load off that elbow tendon. I added farmer carries and just hanging from a pull up bar at the end of my normal workouts.

Tom,

I can’t speak for Carter, but I believe it’s 1/2 ounce of water/pound of body weight per day. To your question about weather, I think you’re overthinking it, he’s offering this as a guideline, not a rule etched in stone.

In what weather? I sure need more water in the hot desert than I do in a cool rainforest.
I would appreciate any elaboration.

1. Put graphite shafts in your irons.
2. Buy a Theraband from Amazon and use it
3. Avoid bad mats
