I came off the Brompton a few months ago and since then have developed a pain in my elbow. Nothing broken or swelling/reddening afterwards but pain has been there. Spoke with nurse last week and likely a tear to the lateral muscle in the elbow.
She advised to lay off bench, OHP and Squat. I want to avoid bending and extending and struggling a bit with exercises for chest/shoulders - are there any or just keep resting?
Yeah, I think it's number 4 - i.e give it a rest. I know the injury was caused from an impact and so isn't RSI but it is definitely worse after exercise. Some good tips on exercises which will put less strength on it. Annoying as I was up to 92.5kg on the bench and getting close to my goal :'(
