Thread: Wrist Injury

Training chest tonight, and felt a bit tired off work.
Flat bench, struggled to hit 10 reps, was only hitting around the 6 mark with each set.

Went onto the incline, and struggled again, with the last set i went of 5, and couldnt get the bar back up.

Silly i no, but to save shouting for help, i pushed the bar onto my lap (with me being in an incline position) then onto the floor - no problem.

2mins later, the PAIN in my left wrist is really bad, right around the sticking out boney bit. Couldnt even pick a dumbell up after that.

Conclusion:- Sprained wrist? strap up and leave for a week?
suggestions please, i hope it heals in a few days.

Wish i just asked for someone to get the weight off now.

Well a sleepless night, and i cant move me left arm much because of the pain in my wrist, i went to the Hospital.

A & E dept - doc said i have sprained my ligaments around the wrist area and to lay off picking anything up with it for a few days. ( i can even move the f*cker, never mind pick something up)

What you guys rekon, give it a week off training, if it feels ok, go back but purchase some "Wrist Straps" before i go back?

thanks.
