Elbow Pain w/ One arm DB preacher curl

[Brandon Williams]

Hey Joe,

I have been battling “Golfer’s elbow” for quite some time in my left arm. I have taken your philosophies for training and recovery and the pain is at least bearable. I love one arm DB preacher curls but it is painful when I use the steep angle of a preacher curl pad like you suggest. I love the exercise so much that I have switched to a raised hyperextension pad to do the curl on.  This causes me a little less discomfort in the elbow but the padding is not nearly at a steep angle as the preacher curl pad. Is this a big deal?

Thanks!
