Re: Elbow pains
Yeah - it sounds as if you are throwing the jab all the way. Obviously, when you are shadowboxing, there is nothing to hit and you are 'overstretching' the joint.
Try to always keep your elbow ever so slightly bent (even when the jab would be fully extended to hit the guy).
Many injuries in the ring are caused by swinging and missing - this hyperextends the joint and knackers it. It is easy to sort through proper control and technique and it's better for you that you found this out now rather than when you had built up a bad habit.
I knwo it's hard to go against your body, but you need to train yourself to throw that punch slightly differently - it will be worth it!
Good luck.
