I pushed it on Friday with a more strenuous and continuous 10,000 meters"<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you might be hitting it too hard. Need to allow time for body to adjust to all new repetitive motion. I think I started at 10 minutes and added 2 minute per workout. Also gradually increased pace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-20218263930986510272009-03-01T16:16:00.000-06:002009-03-01T16:16:00.000-06:00Carlb,I posted recently about my own problems with...Carlb,<BR/><BR/>I posted recently about my own problems with tendinitis in my right forearm; at least I thought it was tendinitis...it still may be.<BR/><BR/>I was sidelined off my rower for nearly 3 weeks after developing an acute pain in my right forearm. I gave it plenty of rest but it didn't seem to be improving. I tried a few strokes the other day on the C2 and noticed no pain whatsoever. I've also recently learned (a few posts later than this one) that I've been going about my rowing all wrong. I've been thinking of it as an upper body workout and not getting enough from my leg drive. Anyway, last night I got back on my rower not sure what to expect and to my delight, using my new and better technique, I had no pain in my forearm and I was rowing at a better pace than before. <BR/><BR/>I did a little over 6000 meters so as not to overdo it. My arm feels good today. There's still a bit of pain but not what I'm used to feeling over the last few weeks. My wife thinks that I may have had a pinched nerve and by rowing I've maybe helped it a bit. I don't know what to think but I plan to back on it again tomorrow and hopefully find a regular stride.Kevin Gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689287179985777963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-51115955563980863382009-03-01T16:02:00.000-06:002009-03-01T16:02:00.000-06:00You might try a weight lifting glove with a wrist ...You might try a weight lifting glove with a wrist wrap that locks the wrist so it cannot be bent. I think wrist action is what gave me tendonitis. I use a Harbinger glove. I also have lifting hooks, I alternate in some times but I don't like them that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-63648788996842579862009-01-12T16:33:00.000-06:002009-01-12T16:33:00.000-06:00Yes, the stair leaps.

It was too funny so I got out the video camera the next day to film him. I wasn't expecting him to try and keep up with Toby and Allie on his way down the time he tumbled to the bottom. He's much more cautious today.Kevin Gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689287179985777963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-2014038115083456682009-01-12T16:27:00.000-06:002009-01-12T16:27:00.000-06:00He is soooo adorable.

It's just the way dogs do stuff and in no time it probably won't even happen and they will accept him just fine. He is too cute! Love those stair leeps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
