Jean-Rene Losier 73 Posted April 15, 2013 My wrists are prone to cracking and popping a lot, as well as my knuckles. Now I'm wondering if doing the various wrist push ups in H1 helps this, or just aggravates this. I'm also wondering if there's anything that can be done to help get rid of this. Since I'm not too sure what even causes this really. Can anyone guide me towards the right direction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 15, 2013 Check these videos out. The first one I try and do twice a day, nice prehab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parth Rajguru 22 Posted April 15, 2013 Find and release any trigger points in your forearms. That coupled with stretching and strengthening eliminated my wrist issues. I've found that for myself, I need more than just the pushup variations; various grip strengthening exercises have been very useful in preventing injury. I still use various wrist pushups, but they are not my only focus in hand/wrist health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean-Rene Losier 73 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm already doing the movements from the second video since they're mostly all in H1. But that first video was awesome. I did the exercises while watching it and could really feel my forearm muscles starting to fatigue. I guess those are weak links that will need to be worked on! raja: what do you mean by "trigger points" in the forearms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parth Rajguru 22 Posted April 15, 2013 A quick search will answer your questions. The trigger point workbook by davies and simons is a wonderful starting point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_pointhttp://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Point-Therapy-Workbook-Self-Treatment/dp/1572243759 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon Pearcy 5 Posted April 21, 2013 That book is amazing. I spent 8 months in rehab (physio, massage, chiro, ART, acupuncture...) for a shoulder injury and related chronic inflammation issues. Two days of self treating trigger points using that book and the inflammation is completely gone and I'm finally back to training. I can't recommend it enough! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua Naterman 1,765 Posted April 21, 2013 This is, indeed, by far the best self-help trigger point manual! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Bodestyne 40 Posted April 21, 2013 Oh man, I just went to look for it on The Book Depository, and discovered there's going to be a Third Edition published in September this year. Ah well, guess I'll buy it now anyway. I can always just buy the third edition later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
