Elbow Pain

bore Posts: 320 Joined: 2000/12/30	2001/01/18, 09:04 PM I have never had a serious injury in the 11 years of working out. The other day when i was doing one arm preacher curls, i was doing a negative and my elbow kind of hurt, not bad but annoying. Now when ever i do curls it hurts. Not when i do bench or deadlifts or any other time. Any ideas what it is and if i should just work through it? Thanks Rob

I always try to keep my elbows stationary when curling up weight..wether I'm working my triceps or biceps I keep it fixed in one position through out..that's helps me isolate the muscle and avoid applying any stress on the elbows aswell. I think the've got those elbow wraps that u can use. all the same...keep on pumping
