Safe to lift with a little elbow pain?

cliffs:

- doing a pretty intense lifting program for 3 months, feel fine never miss a day (except for rest day)

-started doing brazilian jiu jitsu again after like 3 years away

-got armbarred first day, at first it wasn't that bad but next day I felt it in my right elbow.. Pretty intense pain when I bend or stretch elbow.

- today is my 4th day of not doing anything, I feel like it's 90% healed, just feel a little something when I bend my elbow. .It's not even a pain, just feels different from my left elbow..

- is it safe to start lifting again? or should I wait till it's 100%?

Don't workout if you feel pain.

Give it a week to heal (or until you feel no pain). Right now, the last thing you want is to increase the inflamation.

Better a week off, than months off.

Go light, high reps. Get blood a lot of blood into the elbow.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Gotta learn to tap out brah. Knowing when you're submitted is important. Elbow pain from an arm bar can get bad and last months if you're stubborn.

I recommend you avoid any lifting that causes pain until it's gone. It'll probably go away but a week or two is nothing compared to a 4-6 month nagging injury. So I would just let it heal, personally.

Kurt Osiander..."you ****ed up a long time ago bro" ...meaning no point in fighting submissions to the very bitter end in training. Just reset and go again.

Ya man.. I even told myself to go light and tap early before my comeback because I haven't trained in years, I'm focussed on other sports now and not gonna compete in jiu jitsu anymore anyways.. Dudes at my gym are still monsters though, kind of have anxiety now cause my skills are mostly gone..

I agree with this.

You are not fully healed. Take it soft for a couple of weeks minimum and see how your elbow feels.
I probably banged your mom.

Eat the whole animal like a real man.

Work on your shoulder mobility and build up your forearms and triceps. I get that type of pain, but more often then not. It comes from forearm weakness and mobility.
