BP 126…. tennis elbow?

I started going to BP 3 times a week as soon as BP 125 started. Had no issues during that release and have slowly built up my strength and fitness with BP and daily cycling and am in the best shape of my life! (F24). However I’ve started feeling some discomfort in my left elbow (maybe tennis elbow I don’t know I’ve not been to a doctor or physio) but only during the triceps track for this new release. I’ve watched some videos online which basically advise against doing the overhead tricep moves with your elbow facing up as it puts too much pressure on the joint and the surrounding tendons. Today I used the lightest weights for triceps and was careful with my form and it was much more bearable but I am conscious that all the upper body tracks do put pressure on elbows and ideally I want to be upping the weight not regressing.

Why does LM BP push these exercises if they can result in injury? Does anyone have any advice for tennis elbow or elbow injuries at body pump? If it persists I’ll go to a physio asap but just curious if anyone has thoughts really :)
