Pain in Elbow

[taylorha]

Up until about a week ago, I was able to do skull crushers with no problems. About a week ago, I started getting pain in my elbow, along the outer side of my arm. It has come to the point where I can't do these exercises anymore. Can anyone tell what other exercises I can do to replace them???

I replied to another post yesterday about elbow problems, it does seem a lot of people get problems with skull crushers - why I do not know.

Stop doing them, find an alternative exercise that takes the strain of the elbow (no heavy weight) and ice the elbow.

Look up tennis or golfer’s elbow.

All the best.

Lying Triceps Extensions: http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Tric...ingTriExt.html

Notice how there is movement at the shoulder joints? This will take some of the stress off the elbow joints and might want the exercise manageable for you.
