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 :\

    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
    • Hi All, Does anyone know how or who (shop) could rebuild my original R32 GTR Nismo struts? These are the OG logo ones that were a factory option back in the day. I've replaced them with aftermarket coilovers which are good, but the OG Nizmo struts tha i bought the car with i feel are amazing, just the rubber tops are worn and would need replacing... Plus it would make it 100 time easier for me to get the GTR fully engineered without adjustable coilovers... I was considering selling the OG suspension, but if i can get them rebuild / refurbished, I would seariously put them back on. Cheers, Tom   p.s. I'm in Sydney by the way and don't mind travelling if need be to get these puppies rebuilt.
