From casual fitness to powerlifting: How I made the switch
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
Hey everyone, I was scanning through the forums looking for a specific thread to jump into, but I couldn't seem to find one that fit.
So, here’s the deal: while I was hitting some heavy bench presses, I started feeling this sharp pain in my elbow, though it only really flares up when I'm pushing serious weight and reaching that final lockout position where the bar is resting right on my shoulders.
Once the workout was over, that sensation settled into a bit of a dull, nagging ache in the joint.
Has anyone else dealt with something similar, and does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this? I'd love to hear your thoughts on potential recovery steps or, more importantly, how I can prevent this from turning into a real injury...
