Identifying elbow pain while doing biceps curls

[bricabrack]

My anterior elbow hurts when doing biceps curls. Probably because of the Pull exercises i do when training my back and biceps. It hurts somewhere around the area where the doctor put the needle to take you blood when needed for analyses. But it’s not right in the middle of the elbow but slightly to the exterior of the elbow. Any ideeas of exercises or techniques to detect the muscle or tendon that is affected?
I ask because it can be the biceps tendon, it can be the brachioradialis etc

It's golfer elbow, an overuse injury. Stop doing endless curls and adjust your overall volume/intensity/exercise selection/grip.

It could be bicep tendonitis or irritation in the brachioradialis. Ease back on pull exercises & focus on hammer curls (neutral grip) to isolate the bicep. Rest & see a doctor if pain persists

As far as i have read it might be tennis elbow, not golf elbow. I reduced the exercises and will train using lighter weights for a while.

Tennis elbow occurs on the lateral side and tends to flare with elbow extension while golfer's elbow is the opposite on both counts. You have some odd hybrid but it sounds like overuse. I would modify what I do so that it does not get worse. Me being me, I wouldn't reduce what I do unless absolutely necessary. But again, that's just me.

My dad is a doctor and I showed him your post. He said "you are going to die".

My mom is a doctor too. She said "you will be fine".

They are both correct.

I have the same thing. My physio said do wrist curls with your forearm pointed up to the sky

i agree with the other replies - cut your weight back and rest several weeks

Go light on bicep curls with high reps to failure.

The most likely diagnosis is golfer's elbow. Focus on mind muscle connection when training biceps. Be careful with the stretched position - it's hard on tendons.

The rule for tendon injuries is make sure you train it and don't leave it alone

When holding a barbell don't let your grip slip.

Keep your fingers wrapped around the barbell. To test if it's the bicep hold a dumbell in the end rather than center, curl up to 90 degrees, and supinate your wrist back and forth (the bicep supinates the wrist, the brachioradialis does not)
