My wrist has been f'd up for almost 2 months now. I hurt it when I was partying one night, and really tore up, and thought it would be a good idea to punch an arcade punching machine maybe 30 times to try to get the high score.:drunk: :frustrate
For a couple days it was so bad I couldn't even drive without excruciating pain. It's gotten better since then, but I've been working out through the pain ever since it got to a point where I could tolerate it.
I've been back in the gym for almost 3 months solid now, after way too long of being a lazy ass. I can't just take time off completely, and I would have a really hard time being convinced to just train my left (good) arm and legs. Maybe it's the meathead in me:hammer:
Barbell bench hurts probably the most. I haven't tried bent over BB rows but I don't think I can do them at all really. I can DB row okay, it just hurts a little more with heavier weight, but not like Benching. Some back stuff hurts if I'm not really strict and controlled with my pulling. Deadlifting is not too bad, I can hammer curl but not regular curl or bar curl. It hurts a good amount to hold the bar when I squat, so I only try to do 1 set and move to something else.
It really sucks because I'm still making gains. Before I hurt my wrist I was benching 185X8, now I can do 185X11 and still feel like I have more in me, but the wrist is the limiting factor. My deadlift went from 315X10 the day I hurt myself, to 365X9 two weeks ago.
Comments, suggestions please?:box:
