Same guy.

If you are getting pain behind your elbow, then you may be developing tennis elbow. Look it up, and exercises to combat it.

A common cause for tennis elbow on weight lifters is the excesive development of the bicep, without the proper development of the brachioradialis muscle.

For this specific pain, which i suffered myself, you need to focus on doing AT LEAST the same amount of reverse curls, as you do curls. Do static hangs too (do a pullup but stay at the top as long as you can).

Look up how to do face pulls, they will help to remove any imbalance you may have on your shoulders.

For your wrist, you have to dedicate much more time to developing your forearm. Also, take care while using a computer, you may be on the way to develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Really take some time to define what you do during the day that may put unnecessary strain your joints.

A very important aspect that a lot of people neglect of weight training is the strengthening of the ligaments and tendons.

Most of the time, people will start gaining strength and immediately want to start moving up the weights. But many times this is not the best route to take.

Tendons and ligaments (joints) only become stronger during time under tension on a movement with a healthy range of motion.

Perhaps what you need is to lower your weight and focus on moving the weight slowly. Maybe you will not progress as fast, but you will make sure that your body is healthy and that you are able to sustain your routine for years to come.

It's not so much my elbow, but the wrist advice I'll take for sure. I have been spending a lot of time on my laptop and it does aggravate it.

I've been lifting for about 2 and 1/2 months, just a beginner still. I do understand the importance of form, my dad used to lift in his 20's and he's drummed form into me ever since I mentioned I've been going. I'm also drinking 2 litres of water a day, and eating plenty of carbs and protein. Aiming for around 2100 calories per day

And I get no pain DURING the exercise, only when moving stuff around. My routines are consistent also, sticking to a routine since the start

look up beef tendon stew. Not kidding. Go find it and make it and enjoy your brand new joints.

Well then maybe you are locking out your joints while moving stuff around. Or maybe you are moving a lot of weight. Treat the "moving stuff around" as the exercise itself, do it with good form,tighten your core, firm grip etc. etc.

Take your routine and look for example videos of people doing each excercise. More than one, so you know you are doing it correctly.

Some good channels on jewtube are Athlean-X and Mike Thurston. They have great advice on form, check them out.

Excellent advice. I had tennis elbow a while back and reverse curls, stretching, and time took care of it. Also had a baf case of shoulder impingement that made me almost quit benching, realized my grip was fat too narrow and added external rotation warmups everyday until it went away completely, took me like 2 weeks.

A dozen raw eggs a day
Eat them whole, with the shell of course
There is nothing better for joint health.

The funny thing about Lenny's advice is that there is a study published confirming egg shell membrane's are good for joint health
