I have started to get pain in one elbow that's worst after working out, then
slowly improves after a few days then comes right back after a workout. I
do benches, preacher bench curls, dips,, flys etc. three times a week.
Reminds me of "tennis elbow" though I don't know exactly what that term
means. The preacher bench curls are most uncomfortable 'cause I'm laying
the elbow, right where the pain is, on the arm rest.
Is this a faily common thing? What's the best thing to do about it other
than quitting working our? I'm an old fart at 56, maybe it's age?  ) |

The preacher bench curls have a reputation as an elbow wrecker. Drop it
immediately. I would also only train with a neoprene sleeve over the elbow
area. That is a start. |

There you go.

Yes.

The best thing to do is take 1-2 weeks off then start back light and
slowly increase weight.
You don't mention any leg work, I assume you are doing some, but you
could keep that up in your elbow recovery time.
Loose preacher curls, If you have to curl do a standing E-Z bar curl.
Do pullups and/or rows and then maybe at the end of your workout do 1-2
sets of low rep/high weight curls (after your elbow is beter).

The other guys are right! It's the Preacher Curls. I had elbow pain
for about 18 months until someone suggested to stop the Preacher
Curls. After I stopped them, the pain has completely gone. It did take
6 months though.....

I think you are working out too often and possibly doing too many
isolation exercises, like curls, tricep extensions & flyes.
For starters drop the preacher curls and cut back to 2 upper body
workout a week. Add a lower body workout for the 3rd one. >> Stay informed about: Elbow pain |

Defo the preacher curl machine.
I was taking vast amounts of ibuprofen to get sleep and train because
of that shite machine. I never touch that machine now. I just stick to
dumbbells or belt pulley. >> Stay informed about: Elbow pain |
