    I have and have had tendonitis in both elbows, this was due to removing carpet ages ago but I digress.

    First thing, get some neoprene elbow wraps. Consider icing after every session. Use glucosamine to aid repair.

    Now tendonitis does not mean your elbows will crack. I can crack my elbows at will, this is due to doing weights and the tendons, ligaments pulling or moving the elbow joint out of it's normal path.

    This causes me no pain whatsoever.

    If you have acute pain then see a doctor as it could progress.
