elbow + tricep extensions

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2004/01/31, 09:41 PM Does anyone know anything about this? Whenever I do overhead tricep extensions, my elbow pops and cracks (sort of like a cracked knuckle?). It only happens one the extension (the UP phase of the lift), and it hurts a little, but mostly its more worrysome and annoying than it is painful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -------------- \"I get up in the morning around six to run for about an hour. Later in the day, I lift with a partner.

Mine would never bother me on any of the "pushing" triceps' exercises, only the "extension" ones. Lay off those lifts for a while, and treat it like any other soft-tissue injury. Also, check with your Dr., just to be on the safe side: you don't want anything coming back to haunt you in a decade or so... -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!
