elbow pain from skull crushers

[Adalberto]

I've been lifting a while but recently on the advice of my trainer i started going heavier on my lifts and am doing 4-5 rep sets instead of the usual 8-10. well i notice on days i am doing skull crushers my elbow starts to bother me. but it is at the very tip and sharp pain. also hurts when i press on it. what is this?

I would stop using them, skull crushers hurt my elbow too so I do dips now.

it is likely the tendons and ligaments are inflamed and they are causing that sharp pain. stop hammering

there's definitely some inflammation there... you need to lay off... if you are fully intent on pushing through , its only going to get worse..
