Lol999 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi all, I've been hitting the wrist curls and thick bar work recently to build my lower arms whilst I get my shoulder injury sorted out. Just recently I started doing thick bar levers, static holds etc. I've noticed I'm getting some residual soreness in my wrists, but mainly my right which is also the hand I used to one hand my 154lb thick bar. Is this soreness likely to be stretching of the tendons etc and adaptation? Do most people limit their thick bar training to say once per week? I don't want to drop off training because I've made some good gains recently and I'm familiar with DOMS etc. However, I don't want to get a nice injury going. Will gripper traiuning aggravate the wrist if I drop off the thick bar? Thoughts welcome. Cheers, Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_yogi Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I noticed when I first started thickbar pullups that I would get a sharp pain in my forearms, sometimes it would be bad enough to keep me from training for a day or two. It has been slowly getting better. I am guessing that the tension on the tendons is causing strain, and I would assume that the tendons will thicken over time and the pain will diminish. I have been taking megadoses of vitamin C which helps with tendonitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Lol Lol David Hornes Orbi Grip would more than likely clear up any wrsit problem you have, it did with me. Plus it will build up the forearms fast aswell as improve wrist/ grip strength. When I first started thick bar work I over did it doing thick bar cleans and deadlifts etc and ended up damaging tendons in the elbow on a set of axle cleans. Too much thick bar work can take its tole you just need to build up slowly Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol999 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Orbi Grip ordered today. last one as well One advantage to this is I can train INSIDE the house with this and my grippers. All my plates and other stuff are outside in the cold and the wife won't let me bring them into the warm to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
