hey all

I dont get time to post often but i thought i might add this to share.

Little background - been working out for over 6 years, the last 3 years very dedicated, nutrition and program wise.

I work in an office and im on the computer all the time, i developed a problem in my mouse hand, of the wrist. This was about 2-3 yrs ago. Basically whenever I torqued my wrist, it would hurt, in either direction; the further the degree of twist, the more it hurt. It felt like the tendon was inflamed and ready to snap at full twist.

Even when driving I noticed when i rested it on my shifter, if it touched the ligament or tendon it would kill, and taking aspirin would help so thats how i knew it was inflamed.

I couldnt do bicep curls for over a year with a decent amount of weight because of the angle of the wrist. I could only do hammer curls but with light weight. So 2 years went by with me hoping that the glucosamine, chondroitin and msm pills would fix it - they helped but with the frequency of working out all the time and time on the computer it was always a recurring problem.

Anyways I never did cleans or deadlifts much but since August when I built my home gym I wanted to start getting serious. I started doing cleans with low weight and high reps with proper form.

Over the course of probably 3 months of solid progress doing cleans consistently, I noticed the pain was disappearing. As of now, about 6months later, it is totally gone, a thing of the past, and i went from having pain bicep curling 20lbs in each hand to curling 60's in each hand not even worrying about it. (no cheating)

My theory is that the force of each rep from the cleans strengthened the ligament or tendon and forced it to heal itself over time. Very intriguing. Im happy about it.
