Reply With QuoteMaybe you are getting bone spurs?
There is something called Wolff's law or Wolffman's law, I can't remember what it is called. It states that habitual stress through load will increase the density and size of the bone that is proximal to any joint. That is if I remember correctly.
Never heard of pointy elbows from weight training though.

Pointy elbows
So my muscles are growing very nicely and with that of course comes bone growth. I was just noticing how pointy my elbows are now. What's the physiology behind pointy elbows.
P.S. I don't want to post this in the health section because the robots might eat it.

What I think is that your elbows are not pointier at all. They only appear so because the muscles around them are bigger. Your knees appear very different too when you have big quads.

Strange, I would imagine your pointy all over being 6 feet tall and weighing 125 pounds.
