More towards back of wrist? Might want to lay on door hang dead hangs for a week and get one of those metolius gripsavers. I must have done something similar last year, found that reverse forearm curls sorted it out

seems a bit early for door frame hangs to me?

St Hubbins, please never suggest anyone buys one of those metolius things. They're expensive and break very easily.

I'm not sure if breaking is any better for the wrists. Especially doing handspins.

and not one masturbation comment?! blimey, this really isn't a UKC forum!  :bow:

ta for the reply. pains where just underneath, bit further down from where wrist meets hands...seems less painful yesterday. whooha!...

been using one of those Powerball things -- THAT might explain it - as well as the hanging, pull ups and climbing. best ease up a bit.

"reverse forearm curls": how are they done? do you mean with weights?

thanks for the tip.how early is to early? 9am? 11am ;) i must say that the door frame hangs are a tad strenuous. think of getting the gripsaver sqeezy ball... can always take it back if it breaks. any thoughts/words of caution on getting the metolious finger board?

I'm not sure if breaking is any better for the wrists. Especially doing handspins.

i think warm ups/downs might be what i need, rather than slack off the training... seems to be healing. phew! just don't mention 'corpal tunnel syndrome'. geez.

I was actually being unhelpful.

This was the handspin and breaking I was referring to

i've got one, im 12 and my tendons are fine after training on it for about 4 months. words of caution: warm ups are essential for any hang board, never go sraight in at your maximum ability (start easy), and don't do too much. follow that and you should be fine. :)

I find Metolious boards to coarse for heavy training, and the small holds ain't that small. These look sweet

thanks all. wrists now fine... think more than 6hrs sleep a night might be also where i'm going wrong... getting those handspins, windmills and turtles down me now, as advised.

beastmaker looks nice... might get one when i figure out how the site works.
