How to avoid elbow/wrist strain?

As the title says

How have you avoided elbow and wrist strain?

From boxing I have tennis elbow that flares up as well as more prone to wrist injuries

I got pushup bars and love them. Hex dumbells work well too.

I use a powerball and that seems to work really well in alleviating pain in the elbows

knuckle push ups are the only variation i can handle due to wrist injuries. even the handles give me aggravation after awhile.
