I'm not a doctor or anything, but it sounds like you're putting too much strain on the ligaments in your elbow. If you have stronger triceps the strain should go to the muscles and you should be fine. I think. | ||

find an excersize you can do that works the same muscles but doesn't cause the snapping or whatever. then see if you still have the same problem after you get stronger | ||

I've known a few people where it has gone away if they lay off things like skullcrushers, but also even up any muscle imbalances as well (may be biceps are too weak compared, or triceps are too weak). Identify what your weakness is and work on it. | ||

Or whatever it was, that does the work for you and you get über-muscles. | ||

Don't quite straighten your arms....the triceps and especially pecs benefit more the lower you go anyway. The same kind of thing can happen for your wrists as well....I suggest fist push ups. Hard at first but eventually it's much more effective....strengthens wrists/hands/forearms, allows wider range of motion, and you look like a pimp. | ||

If you have stronger triceps the strain should go to the muscles and you should be fine. I think. If you've taken some basic physics you'll see why it doesn't work this way. The weakest link is still going to be the weakest link until it's strengthened. I'm pretty sure that this has something to do with a drifting ulnar nerve which is basically your nerve bouncing impulse to your spine both extending and retracting at the same time causing the snapping. I don't think you can fix this without surgery assuming you want to be able to continue lifting. You should definitely get a second opinion though because this is easily misdiagnosed. If you do have a positive diagnosis I'd be very careful about taking advice off of this forums and do whatever your doc says. | ||
