WORK AROUND THE PAIN
Unless the injury is serious, I always try to find a way to work around
it. For example, if you have an elbow problem, you may want to try
using alternative movements instead of normal movements.
For example, try changing your grip on the weight, or see if alternative exercises for the same muscle group cause pain.
HIGHER REPS
If you are training through an injury and are working around the
affected area, I recommend using lighter weights and higher repetitions.
Don't jerk or throw the weight around, instead use slower more
concentrated reps and feel the target muscle so you don't overstep the
limitations of the injury and aggravate it.
