  • Well after complaining about my hands and needing an arm aid, I’ve done something absolutely savage to my hand at the climbing wall.

    Made a big feet off move to a crimp, caught it (like it did a week ago no problem), and felt something go in my palm, like something inside it sagged down about a cm. Did not feel good.

    Managed work today but climbing is clearly off the menu for the next few months most likely. Can’t clench my fist fully, and I get a king of grinding pain in my palm as I start to close my fingers. Not good!

    So looks like front squats with crossed arms, running and other cardio are likely to be the activities of choice until next year. FUCK.

  • Really sorry to hear about your hand.

    Check out Paul de Gelders workout, he’s very creative out of necessity. I’m sure there are exercises you can still do even with a bad hand. And if your climbing gym doesn’t suffice, maybe join a bigger gym for a little while while your hand gets better?

    Will check it out.

    Gonna give it a week and see how it feels and book a physio appointment.
    I’ve paid this month for the climbing gym, and it’s on my drive home so will probably stick with it for now. But if it turns out it’ll be fucked for ages I might have to change gyms to better suit my needs.
