Pain in elbow while lifting weights

by william

When i do any kind of presses it feels like something in my inner elbow is going to rip a part. I was doing some tricep extensions and I heard a pop and so did the people around me, this was after it had been hurting for a year.

I continued my work out and still lift but when doing heavy bench or any other presses the inner elbow feels like it is going to explode.

Do you know what the problem is , i have rested and lower the weight but it still kills me everytime i lift.

Elbow pain

I have the same exact problem. I maxed out on bench and heard it pop. Now it hurts every time I bench or do triceps. The pain is unbearable, but it only hurts when I lift heavy. I took some time off, but the pain stays. I plan on going to the doctor soon to get it looked at.
