A member asked:

I need help gpreventing elbow stiffness and bicep soreness from weights?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cut back: Decrease the weight and repetitions, until symptoms dissapear or improve, but do not stop. Gradually increase reps. And weight over time. No more than 2-5 lbs per week. Keep reps. At 10-20. Massage the muscles after every workout, and increase protein intake.
