You can get a tennis elbow strap/wrap to reduce the stress on the elbow, but probably wouldn't do much upper body work until it gets better.
Does it hurt more on push or pull exercises?
When I had a dodgy elbow, palm facing chin ups, close grip pushups and dips caused little pain, but exercises which made my elbows stick out, like pullups, presses, bench press, made it sore.

To be fair it wasn't sore when doing - pull ups, press ups or benching.. but really sore after.. Sore when doing anything with a dumbell.. so assumed it was something else, but reading online it seems that all those exercises will cause and aggravate that. may give it a few weeks with a brace and just do some legs and cardio..

I'm suffering from bad tennis elbow in my left arm.. I was just getting a good rhythm of exercises for my upper body which is now knocked on the head.. Is there anything I can still do for my upper body that won't hurt my elbow?? Or am I better just leaving it for a number of weeks??
