Common exercises associated with the medial epicondylitis from tendon injury include tricep exercises with ADduction of the wrist (the 'kick back'), tricep skull crushers with isometric wrist "ADduction" (resisting ABduction from gravity), and Hammer curls with isometric wrist "ABduction" (resisting ADduction from gravity). The muscles involved in these movements have to assist movement across the elbow and wrist, and may be more suseptible to injury during concentric and eccentric/isometric firing over the different joints. It may be helpfully to try exercises with the wrist in full supination or pronation if that seems ot be associated.
