The crack did feel good, it happened again last night in my first set of rows and the elbow felt fine afterwards!!! Why does the fluid drain away?
I paid close attention to my elbow last night and I can feel it during my bench presses & rows, but it is not straining, I can feel it being used, if that makes sense.
I have had two instances where it felt strained and neither is workout related- once when I was on on the phone for 1/2hour where I had my elbow bent and the phone to my ear, when I straightened it, it did not feel good... And the other was I slept on my stomach on my arms, then when I straightened it it did not feel great as well.
The ricing is really soothing it and I will keep it up. I have stopped the rowing machine and db curls for the time being. When I start doing biceps again I will see what the hammer curls feel like, thanks Rebecca for the suggestion.
