High there, I have an issue with tricep extensions. From building up to heavy weights, an 80lb dumbell at 8 reps, I get a pain right at the end of my right elbow while doing the exercise, and for a few hours afterward. For some reason not on the left elbow. The pain does not occur when doing cable tricep pulldowns. Nor is it as bad with single arm extensions.
My form is proper, and my elbows are in near my head.
What can I do to prevent the pain? Or has anyone else had this issue? Its possible that my joints just can't handle that amount of weight, as im not a big guy 6" 160lbs, just strong as I mainly train for strength.
