elbow pain

[daved150]

man, my left elbow is KILLING me this morning!! did behid the head skulls, wich i havnt done in awhile, and while it hurt a little lastnight, it's hurting big time to put my arm straight. i only did 4 sets at 100lbs!!! would a elbow sleeve help. i want to add some more mass to my tri's and they've always responded well to skulls, so i would like to keep doing them

Re: elbow pain

I'd lay off the skulls for a while. Pain is your friend - he's trying to warn you to chill out with skulls; work around it.

Re: elbow pain

Several years ago I had a training partner that was fit for competition. Well, the first time we did tris, he asked if I did 'cross faces'. I said, "huh?" What you do is lay back on flat bench. Use a dumbell, and if you're doing your right arm, you position your head facing the right, with tricep vertical/perpendicular to the floor, and lower the dumbell cross face, then lift. I like to hold my elbow with the free hand. And your free hand also helps with a spot.

This exercise might not tweak your elbow the same way.

Re: elbow pain

That's a pretty cool exercise, kinda like Tate presses. You may also wanna try using some neoprene elbow sleeves.

Re: elbow pain

Bro, trust me those elbow sleeves help big time. I am going to buy some for myself. Doing exercises that require a lot of elbow power I will wear them from now on.. won't hurt one bit.

Re: elbow pain

You know what I noticed. Every time I get pain in my elbows I put some apple cider vinegar and hold it there for a few minutes... the pain goes away...weird

Re: elbow pain

Re: elbow pain

dips are the thing for triceps mass, along with close grip benches.
