When im doing certain weights ( usually chest or triceps) now ive noticed that when i extend my arm im getting a clicking noise coming from my elbow - it isnt really painful but i can feel it, any idea what is causing this?

i get soemthing similar, and a pain, its called tennis elbow i think.

Basically, to do with the joint/cartilage catching or clicking i think, not really a good thing, my knees are mashed because of this.

I believe it has something to do with tendons moving around.

Yeah, this is what I heard from a sports student and a physiotherapist as well.
My right ellbow "clicks" when I do biceps curls with heavy weights. There is a tendon that flips over a bone structure.

However, you might have a different problem, who knows. If it is painful, consult a doctor.

This always happens to my left elbow when I do overhead tricep extensions. It doesn't hurt so I don't think it's really a problem.
