Elbow Hyper-extension brace recommendations?

[nohuff]

I have had a bum elbow for about 5 months now since I was armbarred at my first tournament. It works fine most of the time, however, if it gets hyperextended even a little I get a sharp burning for a few seconds. It's just very sensitive... even if it is just bumped.

Does or Has anyone used a good elbow hyperextension brace for grappling?
Such as these:
Elbow Supports | Hyperextension Elbow Braces

I would like something that prevents movement past 0 degrees completely if possible... without being really bulky.

I am also curious about the size of these things. I would like something pretty snug without cutting off my circulation. I am 5'9" 160lbs. I am usually a medium... but sometimes things run a little big and I have to wear a small.

you can find a good brace but now your shoulder or your wrist is vulnerable- I think a simple one like this should do the trick:

Isn't that like... cheating? :icon_lol:

I think for tournament use it can't have any metal in it, so I don't think you'll be able to find something that would satisfy that and your needs.

I broke down and ordered this...

DeRoyal Hypercontrol Elbow Brace

I needed something that would specifically prevent hyperextension that could still be used while doing BJJ.

I don't need it for a tournament. I just need something to prevent all of the "dings" I get when training.

I feel the downside of this is that you will get the shit omaplattaed out of you.

lol you're buying equipment to make you immune to armbars.
I think if it's that bad you should be taking a month or two off.
And you should never be letting it reach the point of hyper-extension, ever. With an injury like you have you should be ready to tap immediately.
Also, if you plan on training with that thing on, which I can't imagine is gonna work out, you should be ready to tap even faster, because even though that thing prevents hyper-extension, that doesn't mean it itself won't break from an armbar.

Your reply has somewhat of a belittling tone... troll? idk but I feel I have to respond.

I am buying equipment to help an existing injury heal.

It's not a bad enough injury that I need two months off from training. I still have full range of motion... it is just extra sensitive to bumps when the arm is posted or if someone gets a quick armbar. I already tap as quickly as possible on armlocks. Sometimes training partners may accidently put too much pressure before I can tap and this delays full recovery.

Also, if you plan on training with that thing on, which I can't imagine is gonna work out,

What kind of gym do you train in where you have never seen someone wearing a brace? A garage... oh... OK

you should be ready to tap even faster, because even though that thing prevents hyper-extension, that doesn't mean it itself won't break from an armbar.

L2 logic?... if this is your comprehension level... how can I continue? :icon_neut
