kelby Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 after i workout with the grippers and other exercises. i always wake up with very stiff fingers and sore pinky. but not sore enough where i can't move it. but it seems like my fingers are stiff and i have to move them around first before they get soft again. does this mean i am training too hard or is that the way the rest of you guys feel after a workout.

I would safely say we all do "or at least have felt that way". If your doing any high volume training it's probably worse, it's the same as heavy squats they are stiff and sore from the lactic acid. do some hand therapy when you can. stuff like hands soaks.

nagual Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Might be good to add some stretches for flexibility and recovery, after workouts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanH Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Kelby, It could be a volume and/or an age related thing. Or a combination of both. How often do you train grippers, how many sets and reps and how old are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN PRAYDIS Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 two pair of wool socks have been helping me a lot keep at it and get stronger rrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zevich Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 My fingers are a bit stiff after a high volume workout but it fades within a couple of hours. You may just need more time with a little less volume. Extensor work with rubber bands or surgical tubing may also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
