First you should consult a doctor. Next you should research a glucosomine supplement for joints. Next try elbow sleeves and finally use lighter weights.

had the same thing happen to me a few years back. I was ovetraining. I find some supps work and other do not. I was on MSM for awile, and felt no difference. I then try a MSM combined with glucosamine, veggies instead of shell fish. It helped out a lot during my college rugby years.

O/T: Joint Pain, how to lift pain free

Long and short of it. Glucosamine sucks. Cissus RX is a damn joint miracle drug. Hydration, Hydration, Hydration... and toss any movements that cause too much pain. Should be able to stick with flat bench. I can't really do dips, skulls, overhead DB triceps extensions. CAN do rope pressdowns.

Yeah. That about covers it.

I get elbow pain if i lock out on push movements too mainly db presses so i just try to go a little short of locking out.
