lower tricep and bicep (near joint) too sore while rest is not

[yunusmile]

in most of my lifts the lower bicep and triceps gets too sore and hurts too much before the rest of the muscle. i feel like %90 of my bicep and tricep didnt get enough training since they arent sore or not much pump. i usually finish set lower weight high rep just to get them pump. my lifts are usually from 5 to 8 reps. if i lower the weight then i go up to 15 so dont want to lower weight. should i rest until it heals fully or any other advice?

nt: it usually happens after bench press .dumbell curl and clean n jerk

Sounds like a bit of tendinitis. I've had the same thing and had to totally back off on intensity, just did really light weight for more reps and tried to stop before I could feel it getting sore. You need to rest it otherwise it'll just keep getting sore and inhibiting your workouts.

I agree with the tendinitis. You should be lifting lower weight/higher reps on arms anyway. They respond better to that. Take it a little bit easier on upperbody for a week or two and let it heal
