Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 , I know you said ANY type of pulling movements, but how about deadlifts with an overhand grip and wrist straps? If even that hurts, you might want to try good mornings, which hit the lower- and midback surprisingly hard. Pullovers? Straight-arm pulldowns? Shrugs? For extra biceps stimulation, what do you think about reverse-grip bench presses? Jerry Brainum wrote in Iron Man not long ago about a study which found that bench-pressing with a supinated grip works the biceps hard. If you want the study I'll dig it up. Is it a bilateral or unilateral injury?

After 6-8 months of this I finally went to a hand surgeon who basically diagnosed the problem and indicated that I should lay off curl/row type movements. Basically, I aggravate my situation by any type of 'pull' movements (which I can readily feel). Therefore, I am trying to re-work my routine into 'push-only' movements which do not bother me. I would appreciate any comments on this type of routine. I do not want to mess up my shoulders and do not want to neglect working my back and biceps by not pulling. Currently, my routine consists of bench press, shoulder press, dips and hammer curls (these do not seem to bother me). I have dropped cable rows, seated rows, chin-ups and curls in general. ========================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
