When do you get the pain? Straight away or after a few reps? What sort of pain? How long has it been going on for?

[wesley-saxo]

normaly after a couple of reps
its like a sharp ache cant really explain it
everytime i lift weight the pain is there ?

i did get tennis elbow a while back
donno if this could be the cause ?

Sounds abit like tendonosis to me mate. I would say lay off the weights for a little while. Then in a week or so lift some lighter weights until it feels comfortable and don't be to hasty to lift huge weights. Its much better to have good form rather than struggle with heavey weight. Also if you have had tennis elbow before I would look into gettting a strap for your arm mate to give it abit more support.

Mainly though don't lift weights that are too heavy for you!
