My elbow kills me when i lift especially when i exercise bench press. I took time off and did the whole nine. It still hurts a great deal until i stretch my bicep and that only helps for a couple minutes, then i have to stretch again. what can i do?
I am double jointed in my elbow, nothing special but that elbow gets sore every once in a while and bench press seems a little awkward.
I can bench my body weight like 16 times, but it seems to be a holding me back when I try and increase my max, which is not that much. Anyone else have a similar problem?
ohhh, don’t lock your joints on benchpress
I am 15 and have been working out for about a year and a half and i have had this terrible elbow pain when i do any triceps or bench press. I took a break for around 4 to 5 months and started back up slowly. its still very painful even after the break. I also took an x-ray and blood inspection and they both came back good. I am done with trial and error and im just looking for an answer. PLEASE HELP
I have a nagging bit of elbow pain that is only prevalent when doing a pressing exercise. About 2 weeks ago I did some heavy bench presses with pins set about 6" above my chest – thus working the top portion of the lift. Since then, doing bench press with any reasonable weight is excrutiating. It’s getting better, but still painful. The elbow has no redness or swelling and is not sore to the touch, but when pressing, it ACHES to the point where I feel weak and have to stop lifting. I’m fairly certain it’s neither tennis nor golfers elbow, but am confused as it’s a pretty complicated joint. Any ideas??
Also, pulling exercises (rows, deadlifts) also aggravate it, though not to the same extent.
The pain is only felt when the bar is closer than 5-6 inches to the chest.. both down and up
My stupid friend did the same arm grab to the same arm over and over and over and over and now my elbow/forearm feel pain when I use it to list weights or punch the punching bag. Why has this pain not gone away yet? Do I need to wait longer or do I have tendonitis or something? I am not going to go to the doctor to spend 0 so I can be told I injured my elbow so please don’t suggest the doctor.
To describe the pain it is not muscle pain, it feels like the bone, or some tendons or something deep in the bottom of my elbow and up the bottom of my forearm a little. When I do pushing exercises like bench press, it doesnt hurt while I do the exercise, but once I set down the weights my whole elbow forearm area on my right arm starts to hurt in a throbbing type of pain…
Sometimes when I do pushups or bench press, i feel tension on my right elbow. Its not much of a pain, but it bothers me enough that i cant even do a rep. I dont think its about the weight either because sometimes while I do warmups for benching, i use the bar only, and even doing that would bother my right elbow. Does anyone know the reason behind this??
