ice, rest, repeat.
on a side note....I gave up skull crushers and have not done them is years because they give me so much pain in my elbow, even with really light weight.

Elbows starting to ache a bit
Well, its been two years about since i started working out and ive had no elbow pains whatsoever. But for the past week or so when i DB press, Military Press, and Tricep extensions, their is this slight pain in the right elbow, its not severe, i can still continue with the exercise. What might be causing it? Should i take a break from lifting, it could be that all those lifts have finally caught up to me
I really hope its nothing serious. The pain is a little bit agitating, and its gotten a bit worse than it use to be. First noticed it during Skullcrushers.

Take at least 2 weeks off....4 would be better, if you dont you could be looking at 6+ months off if you have tennis elbow
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

If you put in 2 hard years of training you will lose 0 from taking 4 weeks off...just a bit of endurance and thats it. Keep the diet tight and you will be fine, plus you can do legs and cardio. One of the biggest culprits of elbow problems is straight bar curls, drop them for good and do DB work for biceps...also Db rows to replace BB rows.

^i never do straight bar curls, i go to a highschool gym usually nice and quiet, occasionally there are the guys who come in, think they're "buff" and begin to do straight bar curls in the squat rack and sometimes i need to use it anyways, its probably from the skullcrushers. My elbow doesnt hurt now though, just when i do the exercises, no pain after...Just got back from a shoulder day.

You could still work your lower body with anything that doesn't involve you using your elbow and do cardio... Originally Posted by YSK

You and I both. Hell my left elbow is deformed now from that double tendon tear Xmas 2004 from skullcrushers and they caused me to have surgery on the right elbow back in 1981. Originally Posted by P-funk

Really? i always get sore elbows, especially with tricep exercises,and sometimes other stuff. I just assumed no pain no gain. someone else told me to suck it up and the pain will go away eventually? Originally Posted by ForemanRules
