Hey folks, I would like some advice on hand conditioning regarding Joint Ligament and Muscle Strengthening exercises and methods to avoid injury.
I currently have a small degenerative thumb knuckle (interphalangeal joint) change as a 47 year old and want to improve and continue my training.
Location of affected area as below...........
View attachment 428639
This was affected or flared due to hard impact boxing just wearing gloves and the thumb pointing forward. : (
Can you offer any remedial and conditioning exercises that would help in this area.
There is no dislocation or fracture just cartilage deterioration or wearing out.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks
I spent 30 bucks on iron minds rubber bands its just some golden goose cash cow .. don't waste your money unless you got money to waste..Thank you for suggestion I am going to see a Doctor / Surgeon once he clears me I will probably get into this stuff rehab exercises as the pain is still very much ongoing.
That is normal. Some dudes came up with a "Redneck Gripper Calibrator" (google it) and found out the printed numbers don't really match reality.I am attempting to make my own hand grippers that are akin to the CoC's I have a CoC trainer that is rated by them at "100lbs" however, when I had it gauged at the lab here at work, it was only 70lbs. Does anybody know at what point on the handle of the grippers that IronMind uses to gauge the resistance level?
