Ulnar deviation Puns

Helllllp. I keep getting this concept mixed up. Radial deviation is associated with radial nerve (PIN) injury.... Does that mean that ulnar deviation is associated with ulnar nerve injury? Why does the wrist deviate towards the side of the injury? 😟😕😨😖😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

tl;dr: when I reach notes such as G3 with my right hand, my wrist twist "outside" (ulnar deviation) too much and it hurts. I need to correct it.

After a year of piano lessons in 2011 and another 10 years of guitar background up to nowadays, I purchased a digital piano (it's a Casio CDP-S350) and an online course and decided to restart from scratch.

I find that although the course has good content, communication with my teacher is poor, so right now I'm in a very early lesson where I play G, C, Am and F using notes from G3 to F4 using my right hand. I found out that when I'm practicing this lesson, inevitably my wrist will twist a lot to the right, which always causes pain and signalizes me I'm doing something wrong.

My first finding was that I was to close to my instrument, I then readjusted so, with arms fully extend, my knuckles reach what would be the wooden board. I also made sure that my bench leaves my elbow, wrist and finger on the same level. My fingers are properly curved and my spine is aligned. All of this based on my research on proper posture.

I couldn't, however, fix the wrist problem. Two things come to my mind: perhaps I should be approaching the keys more "diagonally" and perhaps these keys aren't meant for the right hand (without a lot of torso inclination) and I should just practice on a higher octave.

Still, here's a (very poorly recorded) video I quickly shoot, just to better show how much it is twisting (recording made things trickier for me, but my knees can be seen and I also already said in which range I'm playing): https://gfycat.com/sneakyinfatuatedcaracal

Thanks for any input!

PS: I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope you'll forgive the redundancy I incurred in in order to be understood :)

Can someone help me understand ulnar deviation in relation to impact? Having a hard time relating it. TIA.

Hi guys, sorry for my english. In the last 3 or 4 months when I do Heavy FS or Cleans, my hand start to hurt, no problem with Snatch or Jerk, only on the bottom of front squat/clean. There is no passive pain when I'm relaxed, only under tension, or when I bend my hand to the side like in the images below.

The blue lines is where i feel the pain.

I sleep with my elbow and wrist bent. I work as a computer technician. I tried to press with my fingers around the elbow, and in some spots I felt some light "pain" in my hand too.

The pain is deep and it builds up gradually from cleans(on bottom), maybe some bad "catches", then i have to rest for 3/4 days without cleans or front squats, as soon as I start Clean again the pain comes back. I don't lose strength in my hand/fingers/wrists/arms. I looked at hand anatomy, and I think the pain comes from abdoctor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi brevis and adductor pollicis.

Thank you for you help

So I was kind of freaked out by this and was hoping it was my imagination but the doc I see for thyroid said it is a thing, ulnar deviation. It is mostly just my left index finger right now. I've been able to connect a lot of things to my thyroid, but not sure about this one. I do feel it started around the time I was ending trials of NDTs and then switching to a lower dose of synthetic generic, so a lot of my hypo symptoms worsened or reappeared since then. I also was drinking mostly fluoride free water from January through about May, but then went back to tap which is fluoridated here.

Anybody have any info or experience with this, any insight or even crazy theory or idea? I got a dosage increase today and am really hoping I feel a lot of differences, including some regression of this problem. :(

My endgame is an ortho or columnar layout. I've heard DH is better for that, and curling does feel slightly more comfortable than the sideways thing. On the other hand, Carpalx rates DH as slightly worse. Mac and Linux support vanilla natively, but not DH as far as I know.

Do most of you use DH? What about the angle mod? What would you recommend?

Yes I'm definitely overthinking this. If I'm going to go through with this I want to feel it's the correct decision. Lol.

Hi u/eshlow and r/overcominggravity, I have had diagnosed elbow tendonitis for two years despite trying all the rehab exercises and methods consistently, reducing and attempting to progressively re-increase volume, and following all the recommendations from Steven's tendonitis book & post, physiotherapists, and general advice.

Please can you have a look at my case and see if you can help?(Also u/TheTysonEdwards, u/MovementTom, u/Antranik)

Here is a brief history of my training journey and injury history:

• 2017 (age 14) - Started training light dumbbell exercises
• 2018 (age 15)
  • Built initial base of strength with pull-ups every day, bodyweight basics, and powerlifts (squat & deadlift)
  • Started training general calisthenics/GST from the easiest progressions: FL/BL, planche, human flag, manna, pistol squats, etc.; plus handstands balancing and presses/entries
  • Had a brief stint at a gymnastics club 1x per week for 6 months—nothing serious, just basic rope climbs and p-bar swings
  • Started a consistent & all-encompassing stretching & mobility routine for 15 minutes every night which is responsible for my flexibility and which I still do now
• 2019 (age 16)
  • Constant hard training 7x per week (even on holidays!)—not a single deload—but built immense strength through dips, pull-ups, 360 pulls, FL rows, deficit elevated pike presses etc. plus accessory work (eg FL scap retractions)
  • Calisthenics: Achieved straddle planche 12 seconds, full BL 20 seconds, full FL 5 seconds, human flag 5s
  • Handstands: Achieved strength-orientated presses (straddle, pike, straddle-L etc.), but still could only balance a handstand for 30 seconds with a poor line
  • Squat 1x bodyweight, deadlift 2x bodyweight, Olympic lifts with the bar only, kettlebell lifts
  • Tendonitis:
    • Started feeling pain in my right medial elbow in October, then ignored it until December when it the pain was significant
    • Thus, my obsessive mindset finally relented and I decided to bring down the volume to only a few sets per day (eg ring dips, 360 pulls, pull-ups) for a total of 30-60 min (😱 still a lot, I know), whereas previously I was training 2+ hours a day (including dynamic bodyweight, statics, handstands, and skills)
    • *Obviously I now realise the stupidity of this excessive volume and no rest, but at the time I was obsessed and addicted to training and progressin

Please read the FAQ as there may already be an answer to your question. There are also resources and routines in the wiki.

This month's competition is a silver bullet hold! We've done a few different versions of this over the years, and this one is a Trainer + 2.5 lb plate for time.

For background, I was born with amniotic band syndrome, which can cause limb and/or digit loss as well as other disfigurations. It can also force the fetus into unnatural positions, so other issues like club feet and hyper elongated tendons as well as many other effects may happen.

For me I have a full right hand, and my left hand only has a full index finger, thumb up to first knuckle, no middle or pinky, and a nub of a ring finger. I also had the bands wrap around my legs, but they did not amputate my legs, just caused scar lines on my legs and caused club foot syndrome on both, but fortunately at birth I received a type of non-surgical corrective therapy that was able to straighten my feet over the first years of my life. So I am able to walk, run, sprint etc, so there is definitely some notable effects still, mainly that the club foot was more advanced on my right foot, so it is more apt to cramps and seizing and I naturally tend to favor my left leg for load bearing, strength and right leg for stuff like kicking or leading. So my leg leg has more mass and strength, and my right leg is quicker.

I have been doing daily calisthenics and isometrics to try and strengthen my weaknesses and imbalances. Since I have had this alternative hand setup my whole life, and my left index finger and thumb are extremely strong, but I basically only have my index finger holding half my entire body weight when I’m using an overhead pull-up bar. It’s strong enough for a couple sets or a moderate length hold, but it be the first thing that fatigues, and as it does my left shoulder starts angling down and I start favoring the right side.

Especially since I’m at the point were I’m trying to do more hold to failure movements, and if the movement involves hanging, my left hand will always start to slip first, while most of the other muscles involved in the movement aren’t even close to exhaustion. I feel I am just further training this imbalance into myself.

Does anyone know any tools, or equipment that would help me out and avoid this imbalance. Also if anyone has any related experiences to the problems I have, I would really appreciate any tips

Also I have multiple other very obscure tendon or ligament issues, so general advice on how to correct or account for imbalances would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: thank you for the responses so far! Thanks for giving me some place to start from.

Here’s a little more specifics about the motions I’m having trouble with:

Okay so this question makes sense, I swear.

As both a sword and scifi nerd, naturally I occasionally turn my critical eye towards the energy sword, and several of the criticisms I've seen levelled at it I think don't really apply because its not a human weapon. It is designed for a race that has a different hand and arm setup with different biomechanics.

In particular I've repeatedly seen criticism of the rear 'prongs' which could stab into your arm if you flex your wrist the wrong way.

To which my immediate question is....can elites actually bend their wrists in the first place? I'm genuinely not sure they can, in all the images I can think of their wrists seem relatively static, at least in that plane.

This not only solves this criticism (they physically cant hurt themsleves with the blade that way) but also neatly explains why they chose the punch grip design.

Where a human can hold a conventional sword and turn their hand to point the blade forward for a thrust, if an elite simply doesn't have that range of motion then they really don't have any other option if they want the ability to thrust. (And they have the physical grip strength to handle a katar/pata without bracing the weapon along the forearm)

This also arguably carries forth into other covenant weapons design.

(The tuning fork gap has no defence, sadly( and somewhat literally) - you can defend the twin points, but not the clear gap through to the hand. The most you can do is excuse it in it simply not really coming up as a problem in Elite fencing styles(

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

They’re on standbi

Recently I've been working on planche and handstand press progressions on parallettes, and I've been getting pain in my wrist. The pain is on the outside of my wrist (the same side as the pinky finger, or ulnar deviation side). I only get this pain in my right wrist. I've tried switching my wrist position many times and nothing seems to help unfortunately.

I'm confused why I'm getting this pain now as I've been training for years, and have done at least 3 years of various push exercises on rings, so I'd think my wrists were prepared for parallettes. My guess is something about tuck planche, HS press and similar exercises are putting stress on my wrist differently than what I'm used to, but aside from that I dunno what would be best to do here besides resting or switching off parallettes for a while. I prefer training on parallettes so I'd like to stick with them in the long term if possible.

I've been looking elsewhere for information on this and the only thing I've been able to find is this video, which I'm going to try. I haven't been able to find any other information about wrist pain specifically when working on parallettes.

Does anyone know what this might be or if there are rehab/strengthening exercises I can do to help with this? Is it possible it's a form issue?

Pilot on me!!

Hey Everyone, after an 8 month hiatus from training due to thumb injuries (I type alot), I'm finally getting back to training.

I am currently doing the basics, pullups/pushups etc. However, my thumbs still can't handle the pressure from neutral grip pseudo planche pushups, even though I try to put the pressure on the pinky side on my hand.

My physical therapist advised me to always keep a neutral wrist/hand position, so I can only do paralet planche training right now

I tried supinated planche leans the other day, very careful not to get tendonitis because of the pressure on the distal bicep tendon. This grip doesn't hurt my hands at all.

I researched this grip, and found mixed opinions about it.

That one forum we don't like has a coach who strongly advises against it, and other people say it's fine.

My worst fear is a bicep tear, but I can't train planche with neutral grip, so I ask the more experienced people here, is supinated planche safe for a beginner to straight arm strength?

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Hey guys I just want to know if any one who has been practising hand-balancing for a long period of time has experienced this pain? And if they have, what they had done to help deal with it?

I've been training Calisthenics for 4 years and have always had handstands in as part of my routine. The pain at the back and side started about two years ago and since then I've done handstands less and wrapped my wrists whenever I do attempt to do handstands. But now it's got to the point where even normal movements of my wrist are causing me pain, such as flexion or ulnar deviation aggravates my wrist.

I've been to a physio but they were not much help, so I resorted to rice bucket exercises and wrist exercises with a dumbbell (hammer rotations, ulnar and radial deviations, wrist curls ect.) which helped for a time but now my wrist is just bad.

Any information and direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
