I have recently joined the gym and started using some of the arm machines. I am used to the soreness associated with leg muscles and abs as I have worked them out many times in the past. My arms have not had so much attention. I did some bicep curls on a machine not free weights, and some tricep stuff as well as upper back and shoulders. Now I did this day before yesterday. Yesterday my triceps were sore and as the day went on my shoulder started to get so stiff I couldn’t really lift it. Then this morning my shoulder was fine but now my biceps are so sore that they hurt when my arms are in any sort of position, whether I’m using them or not. Is this normal for being sore on the upper body? Persistant pain? Because lower body I notice only really hurts when you are using the muscle or stretching. I did stretch after my exercises. My biceps hurt the most just above the elbow joint and seem swollen as well. Is there some common mistake people make on those machines I might not know?

I believe I have whats called tendinitis in my elbows. Its not constant pain or anything but when I workout my triceps I notice the discomfort especially when doing skull crushers and triceps extensions with heavy weights (4 – 8 reps). I believe I got this from doing bad form with these exercises in the past.

What are my options to relieve this pain during these exercises so I can the best results from my workouts?

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

When I served during my last match, I felt a pain in my elbow section. just below the shoulders up to the elbow. Is this the tennis elbow? How did I got it? and how can i get rid of it?
ok, so sorry for m wrong info.. it’s not my elbow that hurts.. it’s my triceps? hmm i dunno much about anatomy, but its the muscle between my elbow and shoulders, the muscle below…

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?
