Elbow weakness when lifting

Hello,

I've just started going to the gym and I've noticed a weakness in my right elbow joint every time I try to push harder. I feel like my muscles can still push forward but my right elbow joint just feels weak after doing my 1st or 2nd set and this doesn't help me maximize my gym workout because I can't really push as much as I would like to. And I also don't lift heavy weights at the gym since I'm just a beginner so I don't think the weights are the issue here.

I have no pain at all and I didn't have any issues or injuries regarding my arm in the past, it's just this weird feeling of weakness in my right elbow.

I've been playing basketball for 12-13 years now but I never get this feeling when playing bball.

Any idea what can cause it? Should I start taking glucosamine and chondroitin? It doesn't feel like a big issue but it's messing up my gym workout and it's getting really annoying.
