15 Nov Experiencing constant elbow pain after working out at home 

Here are some reasons why:

1. Poor biomechanics of elbow movement 
When performing biceps curls, dips or shoulder presses the way you move your elbow and shoulder is crucial in reducing the stress placed on your elbow. With poor form, your elbow can really suffer and take up unnecessary load leading to elbow pain.

2. Excessively heavy weights 
Majority of people get injured when the weight lifted is too high for their body’s capacity to perform a safe lift. When you are not sensible with the weight that you lift, this can place strain on your elbow joint and cause pain.

3. High number of repetitions and little rest 
When you workout at a high intensity, you need to control exactly how much you load your body and calculate your rest period whether it is between your sets, or days between your workouts  Rest is crucial to allow your body to recover and ensures that you can perform your next workout safely and efficiently.
