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).

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