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.
 

Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.
