Best Answer

Elbow injuries while weight-lifting usually occur if you hyper-extend your elbow during dumbbell reps. Hyper-extension of the elbow is when you stretch your elbow joint beyond it's normal range of motion (Eg, moving your elbow all the way down on a dumbbell curl).

To counteract it, just bend your elbows inward slightly while lifting.

After you've already sustained an elbow injury, rest it for a few days before you weight train again.

You should stop lifting weights if you have a pain in your right elbow. Try not lifting weights for 2-3 days to see if the pain fades or not.
