i tweaked it a couple weeks ago trying to do a bit too much on the bench, it had been feeling better but i started a new routine yesterday that aggravated it.

the odd thing is i tried putting an ice pack on it, but it made it worse, so i then used a heating pad, again, it just tightened up.

i applied some ” icy hot ” but it still is still quite sore today.

it isn’t in the center of the elbow where i feel it most, it is in that one bone that is to the side of the elbow.

i will probably take off tomorrow which would normally be a weights day but do you have any tips i can use to heal this up?

does ” icy hot ” really work?

why didn’t ice or heat help?

For awhile now every time i try to do barbell bench my left elbow hurts really bad. It happens right over my elbows below my triceps. I could do barbell bench fine before but ever since about 3 months ago i couldnt do barbell. I can do dumbell press just fine though with no pain in my elbow. is something wrong with my form? or is there something wrong with my elbow?
