Avoid painful action: Golfer's elbow(aka medial epicondylitis) is partial pulling off of the tendons/muscles that flex the wrist and turn the palm down. Pain says you're stressing an injured area and making it worse. Avoid pain. Don't tough through it.Try pull ups w palms down instead of up. If still painful, stop pullups and do any other exercises for the same muscle groups that don't hurt. May take 1-2 yrs. Brace?

Proper technique: Do slow controlled deadhang pullups with a slow descent. Avoid kipping & swinging. Avoid locking out your elbows at the bottom of the pull up.
