Tips For Reducing Elbow Irritation When Weight Lifting
Whether it’s an effort to shape and tone your body or build functioning muscle mass as a competitive athlete, working out is a very common activity that people of all shapes, ages and interests take part in. It’s no secret that there are countless benefits of getting active and working out, and most of the time, people learn quickly how much they actually enjoy breaking a sweat and pushing their bodies. However, just because straining your muscles in the gym is necessary to build strength, it doesn’t mean there is an absence of risk.
Working your arms, chest and back requires resistance through the use of weights and tension. Nearly every workout you do in the gym requires the extension and retraction of your arm muscles in some way, which, in turn, engages your joints. As a result, your elbows may fall victim to injury resulting from improper form or intense lifting maneuvers. To save yourself from serious elbow complications, following are tips to consider:
Consistently Stretch
- By testing the limits through tension and weight control in your arms, you’re putting a large amount of stress on your hinging joints, like your elbows. To relieve some of this stress and reduce the risk of damaging soft tissue, you must regularly stretch. Before you workout and in between reps are great times to revamp extension and improve mobility in your extremities through stretching out your elbows.
Reduce Isolation
- Oftentimes, when lifting weights it’s common to engage in singular lifting routines that require a large amount of stress isolated within the elbow. Exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions and even shoulder flys can place excessive stress in tendons around the elbow.
Weight lifting is a great way to stay fit, build efficient and effective muscle mass, and keep your body toned and capable of handling the stresses and pressures of everyday life.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
