dubyagrip Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 The MM4 package arrived today, and I had minimal discomfort when trying a warm up so I went for it. That's all I can say right now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubyagrip Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 This thumb/wrist thing really isn't getting any better. This is actually looking to be more than just a speed bump. I don't know when I'll get to training grippers again, unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprained a ligament in my thumb at work, very painful and it took forever to heal. Stretching, massaging and compression gloves plus time is what seemed to help it. Can you still train grip at all or does everything bother it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else seems ok, so I'm not too worried about the long term, but I was really enjoying the momentum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can still train other lifts for the time being.. I'm sure you'll get some momentum going on other things. This is what I bought and it really helped, mine is actually the older version. I'm sure whatever you have going on isn't the same but it could be worth a shot.. I'd find areas it hurt and massage my thumbpad and the area on the wrist right below the thumb. . https://www.amazon.com/Rolflex-PRO-Leverage-Foam-Roller/dp/B07H14X98W/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2QFGDYQ3A0OTK&keywords=arm%2Bmassager&qid=1682976312&sprefix=arm%2Bmassager%2Caps%2C258&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzODEwT1lVUDBaMzBPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjQyNDk2M1JFR1NURksyR0xTViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTI2MDQxMjlVUkQ3UkNRTEc4TyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going back go thick bars for now, which will help maintain where I'm at on grippers at least. I'm hoping this is only a couple weeks to heal up from... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
