hello everyone....I dont know if its just me but I get the sharpest pain in my left elbow everytime I do heavy tricep work. Especially when I do heavy skull crushers, and single or two hand dumbell over head extensions. Do you guys know what this pain is? And how bad is it?? It doesnt hurt when I lighten up the weight....but when I lighten up the weight my triceps dont get the burn effect. Please help!!!

Tendonitis or tendonosis, possibly bursitis... the point is, i%99.999 of the time, something like this is a connective tissue issue.
If I were you I'd rest it for a full two weeks, see how it feels, maybe take an NSAID for imflamation or pain. DO NOT work it out if youre feeling a pain, especially since its acute.
Your best bet is to see a doctor about. Elbow injuries are nothing to f*ck around with."Swim 2.4 miles. Bike 112 miles. Run 26.2 miles. BRAG for the rest of your life." IRONMAN TRIATHLON

Agreed. I had the same problem in my inner elbow. Went to the sports doc and he diagnosed it as Golpher's Elbow (tendonitis). This gets asked every few weeks, so it seems somewhat common in weight-lifters. Here is what I did as per my doc's advice:Originally Posted by crazygerman
1. Rest it. You can't work through it, it will get worse.
2. Ice it and take ibuprofin (not for pain, but to act as an anti-inflammitory)
3. Strech it really well (this made it almost go away on its own).
4. When it feels better, to prevent it from coming back, incorporate forearm curls, extensions, and rotations in your routine. Don't leave out the rotations, they seem (for me) to work the exact spot I had problems.
This worked, and it hasn't bugged me since.█♣█
