Do you warm up and mobility your wrist joints, I'm getting a little bit long in the tooth now and if I don't warm up everything I get pain everywhere, LOL :(

And as we are coming into colder weather warm ups and mobility are even more important to keep injuries at bay.

You guys may benefit from taking a week to two weeks off.

Muscle I'm guessing heals quicker than cartilage and inflamed joints; you may feel a lot better after a decent break. I think it's good for the muscles too, to have an extended period of rest every now and then, particularly if you're lifting heavy most of the time.

When I get sick and this forces me to stop gym for a week or two, I almost always come back stronger (eventually) after that annoyingly long period of making your way back. I'm pretty sure that's because everything has been well rested and properly healed. Probably a good idea to do mobility stretches in the second week too.

I had 2 weeks holiday and only gym'ed 3 times in that period. Then after coming back, and getting sick, I had another full week off.

The cold affects me much more in that regard these days. I'm on the comeback trail at the moment, Monday felt good but last night was really weak, though by the time I got into the gym room it was 8:45 so energy levels were not stellar lol

That parenting life.

Yeah I mean 2 weeks without gym...nothing, nada. And gorge on food. That's 14 days of solid recovery with the fuel to do it. You might come back a tad weaker but your body will love you for it!

Of course there's nothing you can really do about old tired joints or degeneration :(

underhand grip doing rows puts the wrists in a bent back position.

and using a straight bar means they are bent back and twisted out. Then from there they get pulled upwards by the arms, and downwards by gravity.

Use double overhand grip.

either thumb under or over to see what works best.

my left wrist is f**ked as well, had a month off while I was on holidays still coming back every session eventually gets too painful and have to stop certain movements

starting to strap it before workouts.. see how that goes :\

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
