Inflammation. Take a rest until its gone and start slow.
If it just hurts and it is not a burning sensation accompanied by weakness then it is not tendinitis.

have you seen a doctor?
how do you fuck up your elbow with pull ups?
And I used to do over a hundred push ups a day (sometimes 100 at a time, sometimes just 60 pre and 60 post jog) and my elbows were fine. So either your form is fucked up or you need to quit jerking off.

1000000% yes.
I got tennis elbow when i first started doing pull ups.
Went away as form improved.
Retracting and depressing the scapula at the bottom of the rep fixed it for me.
I was able to do neutral grip pull ups and chin ups while i let my tennis elbow recover.

Much like "shin splints" tennis elbow just specifies what is inflamed
>>38908778
try hammer grip if you're not already- it feels easier on your joints
I got tennis elbow 3 weeks into SL. Anythings possible

no shit you can get tennis elbow from improper form, or just weakness and your body was using your tendon as a crutch. Hurts like a bitch i know. When i first started doing pullups years ago i got tennis elbow. Take a rest from pull ups or things that make the pain worse, then gradually start reps again.
>Be me
>Frequently go running around a track comprised of incredibly uneven terrain
>Never any problems, even went for jogs there while recovered from a sprained ankle (unrelated reason)
>Use a treadmill at my gym once, immediately get runner's knee
>It's been nearly 4 weeks and it's only just getting better, haven't gone running or been able to do squats during that time
Fuck treadmills.
You did 60 pushups and you're blaming it on 5 pullups?
