Minor weight-lifting strain?!
Question: I just started lifting weights around maybe 6 weeks ago. I've been going fairly regularly, about 5 days a week if I can. I'm 16, I run track, I'm in very good shape, but I just wanted to start lifting to see how it would go. Anyways, my right elbow and a ring of muscles around it feel strained when I work out. I feel a pulling and straining sensation when I do elbow exercises, and even when I raise my arms in the air just to stretch throughout the day. How serious is this strain and how can I stop it?

your fine, you built more muscle in a faster time, than just a set of ten reps. the strain will go away after awhile. then, my personal experience is to do it again. you will build muscle faster that way, (with any exercise)!
