Reply With QuoteCheck your form (or better yet, get someone else to check your form). Usually when this happens to me, it is because I have gotten carried away increasing my weights in increments, and I am lifting just a tad too heavy and compensating with sloppy joint angles.
Dropping the weight a fair bit, doing more reps very strictly, and getting chummy with the mirror for a while help get me back on track (I train alone at home, so don't usually have the "spotter" option. When available, though, an experienced outside eye is better and faster.)

Elbow pain
I have started experiencing pain in my right elbow when doing skull crushers and barbell pullovers. Can someone offer a remedy or any advice?
Thanks,
Mervin

I experience a similar pain in my left elbow. I warm up with a couple of sets of DB presses with approx 50% of the weight for 12 reps. I still will have some pain in the first set of skull crushers. However the pain is not nearly as bad and none is noticed on the second set. I agree with Akateros, that heavier weight tends to increase the amount of pain I experience as well. Try warming up a bit and see if it helps.
