Carpal tunnel - advice and my routine



These rehabilitative measures are what I follow, not a complete prescription. Primarily to maximize usage of the wrist flexors and their longevity.
First, an authority on this subject:

9 and a half min


Movement breaks, and 'snacks'? Yummy. Movement is lotion, as within the physiotherapy world.


With my own setup over my own Wacom, it's been comfortable, yet not necessary. Its comfort.

Now for my own bulletproofing measures. The best way bodybuilders within the fitness are to jack-out their ways out of their problems.


Captain of the crunches (recommended you start with the trainer grips, if you get them.)

Can be done on a preacher seat to feel the mind to muscle connection, yet i so these within walking and spare time. Lighter loads can be squeezed, such as the trainer grip.

This is accessible, even with the lighter weights provided in most exercise shops.

30-35 reps for 2-3 sets.

Other difficulty modifiers to get more out of less weight is 3 second slowed eccentrics, with a 1 second flexion pause.



Reverse preacher cable curls - Thumbless grip to maximize tension.

Accessibility not so much, requiring a special precher cable machine

Hold the swivel handle bar, with the preacher bar high enough to lock the elbows. Pull bar to face like you were doing that sassy slay pose. Then return to complete rep.

6-15 reps for 2-3 set

Bodybuilder wrist curls

(Can be underhanded with the grip, whatever provides flexion)

Simply lift the handle bar within the rest, and curl from the wrist towards.

30-35 reps for 2-3 sets
