What does elbow pain while punching mean?

might be hyperextended rest it for a bit

 

My thought exactly.

 

Most likely you hyperextended your elbows shadow boxing.

 

I often suffer with this, It's a twat, usually if someone isn't offering enough resistance on the pads and falling short in sparring, particulary left hooks or when they go wide and your arm catches on the persons shoulder. A week off usually does the trick, sometimes I think I have trained through it though and it has got better within a week or 2. But when it's so bad that you can barely punch, you need a rest.

 

It sometimes happens to me when I miss a (wildish) straight right hand.

 

Do you shadowbox with weights, by chance?

 

No, unless you want to aggravate your injury.

 

Same here bro, I do some shadow boxing with weights as well.

 

How many rounds do you do on a Heavy Bag

 

first make sure it's ur elbow that hurts and not ur upper forearm muscle
if it's ur elbows though ur probably over doing ur workouts or more likely that u r extending ur punches too much

 

Make sure you punch through your target instead of just hitting it on the very end of your punch.

 

Wizard, what stretching do you do for your upper Back.
