Yesterday I told you about a forearm issue that I had a few years

ago.  I believe the technical term was epicondylitis.

 

Today I want to share another exercise with you that my nail bending

friend Jedd Johnson told me about that really helped a lot.

 

This is so simple and if you're taking long rest periods between sets

you can do this in between sets.  Or if you can do it at night while
watching the boob tube.

 

With your lower arms, wrists and hands this simply means that we 

need to have balance between the (flexors) that shut the hand and

the muscles that open the hand (the extensors).

 

If you don't keep this balance, by only training the flexors which most

of us do, it's only a matter of time before injury and pain sets in.

 

To prevent this or to fix an imbalance try....

 

Rubber Band Finger Extensions  >---click here fore more exercises---<

A great way to work the extensors is with rubber bands. The kind Jedd uses are
#84 Rubber bands from Staples. They are about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick,
but they are perfect for training the extensors of the fingers and warding off Tennis Elbow.

Finger extensions involve wrapping the rubber bands around the back of the thumbs
and fingers and then opening the hand. These can be done quickly or slowly, and
when using one rubber band, even individual fingers can be trained well. Also, you
can carry rubber bands around in your pocket and do them just about anywhere.

Incorporate a variety of efforts with the rubber bands, including multiple repetitions,
holds for time, and even try to fully open the hand with many rubber bands on the
fingers for the Max Effort type of approach.

 

Suggested Frequency: As often as every day to every training session
Suggested Volume: 1 sets of 20 to 50 repetitions
(Extensor work is so important, my suggestion is to do this drill every day, even multiple
times per day, and at least every day you train)

Hopefully this helps you out like it did for me.  If you're suffering from any kind of

forearm or elbow pain check out this solution.  You can treat this yourself without

missing any additional training sessions, spending lots of money with a therapist, and

missing work time.
