Yeah, I do use those, too. They help.

What does these elbow support look like? Is there a link
you can give me so I can find out what I am looking for?

I assume he's just talking about an Ace bandage. That's what I use anyway.

One excercise that definitely doesn't do any good for my elbow is Upright Rowing. So that's one excercise to look out for if the elbows starts acting up.

Lucky, you said that it started when you finally decided to add side laterals. When you do your side lats, do you remember to turn your hand 90 degree at the end of the movement, so that your thumbs are pointing downwards when you reach parallel?

If not, you are putting a tremendous pressure on your elbows because it will be the tendons in your elbows holding the weight. If you make sure your thumbs are pointing downwards, it will be your triceps holding the weight, not your elbow.

Beleriand_K.... Thanks for the advise. Since I have stop
the side laterals both elbows are slowly starting to heal.
I will wait a month or 2 before trying your suggestion
with the thumb down. But now I am sure that it was the
side laterals and not the skull crushers which I am still
doing with no pain.

Don't lock out your elbows doing any exercise. I used to get elbow pain and ice seemed to help some.

Too much weight too fast...tricep tendonitis. Been rehabbing it for about 5 months now...almost 100% but it's a long road back from hell!!!!!!
