Elbow Clicking & Sore
Last week at Body Pump, while I was doing the quad/hamstring track (which consists of a ton of squats), I think I overextended my elbow. On that track, I put the weight bar on my shoulders, and my arms, essentially just keeping the weight steady, were unloaded. I think I was getting a little lazy because I was leaning into my arm, which meant my elbow was over extended and ended up being a little sore when I unloaded.
Now, you may also remember I started the 100 Pushup’s regime last week. I made it through the first week without incident except my elbow started intermittently clicking and was starting to get sore. I mentioned to Nickel, who started his own fitness blog at fit36.com, and he said it could be bone rubbing on bone. I think I just stretched out some tendons and need to just rest it a little.
As such, I think I’m going to take a one week break from the pushups (which is really the only activity that strains the elbows) to see if my elbow gets back to normal.
