Re-occurring Pain....Brachialis?
Once or twice in the past few years, I have had a reoccurring pain @ my elbow when doing curls...usually 'preacher' curls. I suspect that I have strained the brachialis at the point located nearest the "inner" elbow, on the thumb side. (with palms facing upward) Doesn't seem to be a tendon.
Other than avoiding hyperextension when doing (all) curls, what can I do to avoid this? (straps, etc.) Secondly, is it altogether harmful to continue working this muscle/group with lighter weights in the meantime?
