Yea this was really not a bad work out I have been traveling a lot, surgery, other shoulder issues. So past month been running more and dropping some weight. Not hitting heavy weights for a bit. My wrist is almost healed up, Monday I did a few push presses with 185 and my thumb went numb for 24 hours. So I am just very hesitant to start putting a load on my wrist yet. [/quote]

Um, sounds dangerous. The only thing I’d suggest, and I hesitate to suggest anything at all, is cut the push press for a military press with a false grip. Don’t worry, my max on the press is 155.

It’s quite the experience to be this weak. But, I’d rather start out with something incredibly light then stroke my ego again and hurt myself.

Not yet, have some bulging at C5-C6 and C6-C7 no herniation

Why do you ask?

Plus today I just cruised and took my time, hit it hard last two days, today was just to kind of get the blood flowing and keep the joints lose.

I like the kind of training your doing here really push the strength and conditioning as well lifting skill. Good stuff. Those sprints and then circuits like that are challenging.

Thanks Bruce that is the overall goal and to stay injury free.

Because most issues of Carpo tunnel is caused by c5-c7 herniation.

The Xrays and Mri’s diagnostic’s confuse scar tissue/muscle built/cartillage dmg on weight lifters with carpo tunnel.

Add that to the tingling/numbness we get from the discs > voila > Carpo tunnel… Thing that gets me is the surgery is only good for 5-7 yrs before the same symptoms comeback.

I didnt have Carpal tunnel Fisch. I had a very, very large ganglion cyst on my wrist, it had grown half way up my forearm. So when it was removed the Doc had to reconstruct my radial nerve and put it all back together.

But I do agree about what you are saying, I think many Docs forget about HISTORY in regards to what is going on.
