Hello everyone!
I've researched this quite a bit, and I just couldn't find a concrete answer, so I might as well ask here.
I have what I believe is referred to as "forearm splints". Whenever I apply pressure to my wrist, especially during pushing exercises, it doesn't hurt. However, as soon as I release, a painful "shock" goes appears on my forearm, on the outer edge. I have absolutely no clue how to fix this.
1) I've read that one should take out whatever makes the pain worse. I did this already. It mainly occurs during Planche work (right after releasing), and right at the transition of a muscle-up. I don't do either of this exercises, except from time to time, and that's where the pain comes from. I don't get it from any other exercise in my routine.
2) Strengthening the forearm and stretching it were the top things I found. I do Sommers' "wrist routine" for the Wrist push-ups essay, with a few scaled-back variations during my warm-ups. Perhaps I should do it more often, even on non-workout days, and even several times a day?
It actually hurts right after I release any forearm stretch where the back of the hands are right-side-up (where the fingers are pointing back, you lean back, and you stretch the "front" of the forearm, so to speak). Should I do this stretch anyways, perhaps releasing it little by little?
I just need to know what I have to drop from my training, and what I should add. I really hate the feeling!
Thanks for the help!
