Subject: need some advise
Ive been lifting free-weights at home for about a year steady, 3 times a week.

So i got a membership at the Y this week and gave the fancy weight machines a spin, thinking nothing of it i went into my usual set's of 12 with 3 reps.

Apparently they work many more muscles than my "at home bench and dumb bells"

simply put it's now 2 days later and I have burning elbows, can barely move them. I don't think it has improved form yesterday.

what can I do to relieve this pain faster?




thanks~ the guy who can't scratch his face

Do you think your pain is just overexertion, or is it possible that you actually injured yourself? If it's just overwork, I'd go with some sort of NSAID and lots of ice. Toss in some active recovery work, nothing too intense. Wish I had some silver bullet to offer.

I cant Imagine I injured them both, but I'm also recovering from back surgery...and happen to have a broken toe, so anything is possible lol

I ace bandaged a ice pack on each one and took some ibuprofen 800'S I do have some mobility back but still cant brush my teeth.  Ill see what tomorrow brings

thanks for the input though )
