Watch out also for shoulder injuries, the shoulders are very delicate for the bench and military press. Ease up on anything that aggrevates the wrist until it heals. It may be a good time to focus on the legs, abs, forms, and things like that. Woodlock oil will be the best for injuries like this. I have the power twister in, please send me over your address one more time via email and I will get one out to you.

But I suspect it occurred while lowering my curl bar after doing a set of military presses, because I recall dropping the bar a little too fast and feeling strained to control it. So the injury might be some kind of hyper-extension. It doesn't hurt except when I apply physical pressure against it, as when doing push-ups, bench press, that kind of thing. In fact, twice yesterday I attempted to work the bench press, because the wrist seemed to be okay, but as soon as I tried the pain was there, so much that I couldn't even lift the bar off the rack. Hopefully it'll heal up quickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462714824823663318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-66492563095929418102012-12-24T00:33:21.231-06:002012-12-24T00:33:21.231-06:00I'm sorry to hear about what's going on up...I'm sorry to hear about what's going on up there in Canada. How did you hurt your wrist? Maybe we can all learn from your injury and try to prevent it from happening to ourselves. You are doing very well with your training. Andre Joeseph, may be another Online Todai with us, I'll see, he has been purchasing a few lessons and made a donation today after I haven't heard from him in the longest. You are doing very well with training & updating us with everything. I don't know how you train in such cold weather, in the studio, we keep the heat off in order to save on the bills and it feels really cold in there being around 58 degrees, I guess we are just getting so spoiled training indoors. As far as protests are concerned, I see that we should simply change our own lives and head towards a better way ourselves, that is protest enough. The protest is more for the herd mentality, we should rather focus our energies on our inner development.

It makes me think about when our last primary minister in Quebec (Jean Charest) wanted to upgrade the cost for students in University. Students and all kinds of people protested for months without much results until the elections came in September. That primary minister got kicked out. I hope Harper will receive the same treatment at the next election.Steve Caissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205605392347205255noreply@blogger.com
