Thread: Iso tricep excercises and elbow pain

lower the weight

i can do it. it jsut clicks and hurts a tiny bit.

lower the weight

lol alright thanks bro. i will.

i always get pain with things like that. I just don't do them because they put me in a tough position.

yah me 2. idk why. so funk you dont do that anyhting liek that? how do u work your triceps? just close grip bench and dips etc?

compund lifts ftw.

i do extensions here and there.

I do tricep isolation exercises all the time, but don't really get pain in my elbows. I go pretty heavy too. It could be you're not doing the exercise properly, or (like Lucifuge said) you're going too heavy. Put some liniment on your elbows before you lift on days that you're going to do triceps and see if it helps.

I don't do them because of the strain that the put on my triceps attachment. Why do it if it bothers me?

i do compound lifts....bench, DBs, incline bench.

I almost never do direct arm work. There is to much stuff to work on in the gym to do biceps curls and triceps pressdowns.

wtf is liniment. and its not the excercise im doing wrong. even things like cable extensions or w.e pop and hurt a litte

allright thanks bro. thats a good look

Ditto at everything P said.

If you still want to do them, you can search for alternatives that stress your elbows less. Standing overhead triceps extensions are better than seated ones, for example. Clever use of cables can also spare your elbows a lot.

My buddy has the same issue. I used to feel it somewhat in my elbows but not anymore. I don't do to much direct arm work though.
