Thats some great strength.

I had problems with one elbow, but training forearms helped. Both sides, up and down. Most injuries and pain come from uneven strength/muscle. For example shoulders, many people have problems with them due to the fact they don't train them evenly...and forget the back part and rotator cuffs.
