Pain from elbow to shoulder

FilthyPL3B Posts: 262 Joined: 2006/04/04	2007/04/05, 10:09 AM Been having this dull ache behind my elbow that occasionally comes up behind my shoulder. Noticed it when I was doing incline BB bench. However, it doesn't hurt when I workout, only when it is stationary or without resistance. To touch it is fine but it's a deep, dull ache that only comes around once I begin to lift (not during as stated, but after a set). Sorry but any ideas? -------------- If in doubt K.I.S.S.

Perhaps I'll put more effort into my stretching before a session. ============ Quoting from jaytori129: tricep usually, and if it is pain from elbow and occassionally shoulder it may be being strained...when I first started skullcrushers at high weights I had the same pain and wouldnt hurt when i worked out, also i would have an occasional spasm that would hurt and kinda jerk my elbow...hope that helps ============= -------------- If in doubt K.I.S.S.

When you feel ready, work the weights back in slowly. Remember to ice. It stimulates circulation and promotes healing.
