Elbows, Wrists and Palms

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Wally
The volume of work we do often takes it’s toll on the body.  The elbows get crunchy… the wrists get owie… the palms get ripped up.  What to do?
For the wrists/elbows:
  • Get a buddy to massage out your wrists & forearms.
  • Stretch out your wrists after working out.
  • Grab a Lacrosse ball and roll out your forearms.
For the palms:
  • Tape up your hands before a high volume pull up workout.
  • Practice making your kip less severe.
  • Buy yourself a set of gymnastic grips.
  • Practice dead hang pull ups to develop strength.
The 39th Squat
3 Rounds
13 Front Squats
26 Pull Ups
Check the whiteboard for numbers.  Thanks to CrossFit Portland for the recent link/post about gymnastic grips.
