You are more than likely starting out too heavy. Yes, I know, you are a good strong young man and can lift the weight, but your body is telling you to cut down just a bit. Start out at about half what you are working with now, just do a few more reps. Stretch those muscles and get them LONGER with less weight, more reps. In a week, add five pounds.... In another week add five more... Just slowly work your way up. It may sound weak, but it works. This is what Pilate's classes teach, and it works for gaining serious tone and muscle. Tennis elbow will follow you for life, if you continue to blow that group of muscles out. There are also these elbow supports you can buy (say at Walmart) in the pharmacy where the ace bandages are. It is just a simple little black velcro band that you put at the base of your elbow, and it helps support you until the pain stops. GOOD LUCK!!! Let the pain calm down and go away for about a week.
