I've been weight lifting for years but for a few months now I've had this golfers elbow pain that does not want to quit. I'm sure I'm not having the right technique or posture which may be causing it. What exercises may cause golfers elbow in the gym? (I don't play golf btw but the location of the pain is on the inner side of my elbow, where the tendons of my forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of my elbow.) Thanks for the advice in advance

probably quicker to try both than wait for our friend to revisit the thread?
welcome to a very large club
Tendonitis is extremely common and many of us work out regularly with this issue
check out compression elbow sleeves- designed to alleviate this condition
they have a pressure pad, that you locate just below the area of pain when working out
this keeps the tendon from being stretched and allows you to train discomfort free
I had one for best part of 12 months , but have not used it for last month or so due to this simple exercise
forum member Mike Modjeski17 - made the vid I believe and I do this 3 times per day each day and been pain free since starting

welcome
hey and where is your vid for assisted curls (poundstone style, low weight, high reps with unaffected arm helping to move the one with issue) , which also helps ( I have tried that also by the way)
Mike only has 98 posts in total so it was easy to find the post he made with that You Tube link in
you have 22,000 plus, so I would be here all night and then some, if I looked through your post history to find it.☻/

Here's what I did that helped a bunch. First, understand that it's an imbalance. Something is probably tight and you need to treat that too. Ice at first and these stretches/exercises: http://www.hughston.com/hha/a.seven.htm Also, a foam roller goes a long way. At first, this one really helped: http://tomrandallclimbing.wordpress....ible-solution/ (doing it with only one arm on a yoga mat). Good luck man.
I rep back, just ask pls.

If I have to guess it is improper technique and posture, not sure which movement may be causing this pain since it is not a sudden injury.. In other words it's been building up for a while. I have seriously been considering hiring or consulting an athletic trainer or other fitness specialist who's familiar with proper weight training technique. People say that If you've been using weights for a while, consider scheduling time with a trainer to demonstrate your technique and identify any changes you may need to make. Any recommendations of this type of specialist in the Miami FL. area?
Thanks

Skull crushers did it to me and I don't do them anymore. It took almost two months for the pain to finally go away. Skull crushers were my favorite exercise too, but dealing with that elbow pain just wasn't worth it.

Thumbless Grip
I have similar pain when I do bicep curls. I've tried elbow tendonitis straps which helps, but I recently found this YouTube video with the recommendation to use a thumbless grip and I was surprised that something so simple helped ease the pain:
I don't use lifting straps. I use Power Pads:
