Workouts that don't irritate the elbows?

[Flynner]

Hey all.

My elbows have been nagging me lately -- the tendons pop and get inflamed after heavy use or use with heavy weights in positions that place stress on the elbows/forearms. I've given them some time off, and they don't hurt except for in workouts. I've found some workouts that don't place too much stress on the elbows that I can do without any pain, but I need some more.

Chest: Having a hard time with bench press and dumbell press. I *can* do dumbell press without pain, but I have to be so careful about the elbows that I don't feel like I'm really getting a workout. What else can I do for chest? Not looking to really bulk up, just looking for a decent workout.

Tri's : anything over the head is a bastard. Skulls are definetly out -- what caused the problem in the first place I think. Anything else I can do here?

Thanks, chest and tri's are the major areas of concern. What else can I do for exercises, without elbow stress? Thanks.

I suggest walking - straight to a chiropractor.

my grandfather has problems with his elbows he got something from the doctor to heal them and endure more, not a pain killer i don't know the name though but our doctor might know this i know it's something with

ginko or something like that
other then that i always suggest flaxseed oil
