Inner elbow pain during OHP

I have been having a strange pain when doing the OHP, but only in one arm, it's around the inner elbow and it almost, but not quite, feels like it's "popping". I don't get it with dumbbells.

Any ideas? Should I stop the OHP until it goes away? I just didn't do OHP last time because of it, rather be safe!

    How is your arm posture? I'd check that first. Your elbows are supposed to be pointing out front rather sticking out to the side as they would with dumbbells. Your elbows shouldn't be popping during OHP at all.

    Search Youtube for Rippetoe videos on overhead presses and make sure your posture is correct, then reevaluate.
