I could go faster but this super slow progress with it has been working and i figure why change it. I get a warm up in for reverse without zapping strength and i'm slowly getting stronger. Great piece of equipment, but its killer on my tendons if i go to hard. Sounds like a smart approach. Rushing and pushing may only sideline you for a while if you get hurt. Patience and prudence will ultimately get you where you want to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great piece of equipment, but its killer on my tendons if i go to hard. Your approach sounds safe and reasonable to me (and why change smg if it works). I also think one can overdo the WD2 easily. Not because of the wrists but the elbows. I usually go hard on it when I use it, but I train with it much less frequently than you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t afford an injury and work really sucks when I work the wrists and elbows too much! My goals are simple, i think within 5 years I’ll reach most of them. Then I just want to work on harder variations and cool feats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your volume is insane especially considering how short your workouts are. I need like 2-3 hours. Finding ways to get more efficient though.

But yeah, pretty sure the concrete cutter we hired was shooting up in our porta potty last week. I actually dont mind jackhammering. This one is electric.. Its the air powered ones that are rough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
