for a week of lifting your pulling:pressing ratio should be 2:1. which is tough because typical splits emphasize pressing (bench, shoulders, etc.). face pulls between sets of pressing can help. doing pullups in your spare time as well.
fish oil does indeed work, at least for me, for elbow/joint pain. but if it's past the point of preventative measures you should talk to a doctor. out of my purview at that point.

I fucked it up 5 yrs ago doing incline bench felt a twinge go up and down my entire left arm. I was like 19 doing 185x8 bench at the time and have since stopped all freeweight exercises. I did buy an elbow health package and grippers from iron mind though because that can mitigate or completely eliminate elbow pain by re-strengthening the tendons if exercises r followed diligently. Like bands and an EEG ball and shit to grip. Will update on status of elbow but for now I just started doing a lil dumbbell work again and running. Gonna holla @ some HIIT and when my arm's back up to shape hit freeweights again
