I think that’s a pretty good bend considering I’m new to DO. I’ll work with these for a bit and then move onto G5s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those 60ds are tough, I think you're close to the 9/32" CRS as well! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My left index finger is really sore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Shame on me for getting cocky yesterday with the bending. Woke up in middle of night with numb hands. Right came back, left stayed numb for like an hour I was up but slowly the feeling came back. This morning feeling is back but its tingling. Talked to Jedd and Matek, I think its something in my neck from DO bending. Did some stretching for the neck area and rolled on lacrosse balls, there is some tension there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting better now that I’m up and took ibuprofen. Tonight I’m going to see Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains in concert. But the next few nights I’m going to really stretch and foam roll. It stems from something in my neck I know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the bend but this is scary stuff. I have been worrying about sleeping on my hands at night. I have woken up a few times with really numb hands just sleeping weird. at about 4:40 in the video Eddie Hall talked about Brian shaw having a problem with numb hands and how it was killing his grip strength to the point he had to get surgery because he was not getting good blood flow. Be careful hope you heal up. You can probably do reverse style which doesn't require the same level of flexibility or neck strain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I woke up a few times, my hands where a pins and needles but instantly it came back. So thats good. I can feel some twinges in my neck so I know thats what it is. Really, I'm an idiot and got carried away with the bending. But I guess that is how you learn unfortunately. Going to do my workout now, next week I may take a deload and avoid bending for a couple weeks. As much as I love grip and bending, I need my body for work so I have to be extra careful.

Yes it is.. Concert was great, dont know if you like Alice in Chains or not but you should check out Jerry Cantrells solo act. They are really good. The opening band was really good too. I'm getting better but still a little sick, it showed in my performance. Take care of your lungs everyone, and wear masks when your in dusty/moldy environments.

Blacksmith513 Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) 20 minutes on the rowing machine, 20 minutes yoga, did some soft tissue work with the lacross balls... Then I went in my parents sauna, drank a few beers and listened to George Carlin. The indian clubbells really do loosen up the shoulders. I should use them more often.

This infection has taken a long time to leave my system. Probably should have seen a Dr but I don't like taking antibiotics unless its urgent. My left hand felt really strong today, my right hand was lagging. Also think my CNS is still a little fried from bending last week. But all in all it was a pretty good session. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
