Did upper body today
1. Warmup 10mins on treadmill
2. Bench press 3 sets of 7 reps @ 90
3. Lat Pulldowns 3 sets of 7 reps @ 70
4. Machine Military Press 3 sets of 7 reps @ 60
5. Arm Curls 3 sets of 7 reps @ 40
6. Tricep Pressdowns 3 sets of 7 reps @ 40
7. Wrist Curls 3 sets of 7 reps @ 70
Notes to self:
Had an overall good workout, someone made me pissed off so it helped me lift the weights. I went up 10 pounds on the military press from 50 to 60, good accomplishment and I found the benchpress to be easier to do. Its 11:30 now and I have to wake up tommorow at 5:30 to go on treadmill for 30 mins. You can do it, remember No Pain, No Gain. You have no choice. Also make sure you keep up this journal everyday.

Monday June 5, 2006
Rest Day
Notes to self:
Today I was supposed to do my lower body, but I was too tired and felt over exhausted from some issues. School was tiring, but I did feel I got enough food today or should I say a good amount. Next week you have to change your entire routine from the advice of danmirage and others. Tommorow you have to work your upper and please make sure you do it earlier not at like 9 o clock at night because then you always end up going to bed at 11 or later. You have no choice.

Rest day again
Notes to self:
I didn't have time to workout tonight because I fell asleep and woke up at 9:30 which isn't late, but if you have to wake up early the next day then you can't workout at that time. I have to start going to bed earlier I think thats why Im so tired. Anyways its good I'm keeping this journal up and I need to in order to be motivated. You can do it.

6. Tricep Pressdowns 3 sets of 7 reps @ 40
7. Wrist Curls 3 sets of 7 reps @ 70
- I do 1 warmup rep for each excercise except cardio
Notes to self:
Had a great workout, was feeling the burn in the arms chest. The weight is getting easier to lift so I may have to up the weight on some excercises, but not yet. I achieved a 10 pound increase in the lat pulldowns from 70 to 80 which is pretty good. Im tired now, but this will pay off. You have workout. You have no choice.

How did your doctor determine you had carpel Tunnel?
Sorry to hear this.
Foods to avoid:
asparagus, beets, beet greens, eggs, fish, parsley, rhubarb, sorrel, spinach, chard, cabbage, cauliflower, other cabbage family greens, Excess Salt and high sodium foods...
Also avoid all artificially colored, flavored, preserved foods. Avoid processed foods.
Basically, focus on eating only fresh whole foods. A variety of fruits and vegetables and sufficient protein.
Get an ACE neoprene wrist wrap and loosely wrap the wrist to keep warm
I had "tendinitis" from being struck by a car. After a layoff, I had to use ankle straps to lift for a while...keep your hands in the posture as if you had a pen in them, with the thumb parallel to the wrist, and keep the elbow slightly bent.
Start all movement requiring the hands with basic warm up and range of motion...
Take antioxidants...including L-arganine (NO) before bed.
Take a B complex (50) every meal
Take your multi in the AM
Use fish oil in the AM
Fresh pineapple contains bromelain which reduces swelling and pain...also fresh papaya.
Buy organic celery seed at a health food store ..get it in bulk, raw seed, about 2 cups worth.
DO NOT use commercial celery seed as the pesticide/chemical residue which takes residence in the seed's germ (fat) will worsen the problem!!!
Every day you take 3 tablespoons and use a tea strainer...NOT METAL (metal will alter the properties of the herb) You can use reusable tea bags too...pour 3 cups of boiling water over the seeds and let them sit for 10 minutes in the water.
DO NOT put the seeds in boiling water. Steep them in a glass or ceramic container again NOT METAL.
You can boil the water in metal if you must, but then metal should not contact it once the herb is there, no metal spoons or anything.
I use an old glass 3 cup pasta jar.
Now I will tell you that the taste is bitter. This is a bitter tonic. The Chinese say that tasting it changes the body chemistry and there have been some tests which bear this out. So don't try to hide the taste.
You drink 1 cup 3 times a day for 4-6 weeks. One thing that is a known is that the celery seed can flush deposits of minerals that are responsible for arthritic swelling (the -itis)...it is alkalizing.
You can also buy celery seed extract in a liquid form at some herb counters, if you know an herbalist, have them make you some. This is a small bottle of the extract, very condensed, that you can Carry, a dropper full in a glass of water is as effective

He prescribed me to wear a wrist brace(but he didn't say for
how long) and if that doesn't work then he prescribed some water pills
for me to take after.
Until a few weeks after symptoms subside.
quote:
So you had "tendinitis" is that like carpal?
In my case yes, it was from being struck by a car..so there was injury and swelling and difficulty as in CT.
quote:
I was also wondering if I can start working out soon?
I would say, nothing that requires the hands!
quads, calf, hams, pect dec machines, back work without the hands.
Not until the symptoms have completely subsided and a week without them has passed!
You have to learn to completely relax your hands in a position with the thumb parallel to the forearm...and the hand in a "pen holding" position....if you work out the upper body.
No gripping weights until you heal!!!!
Except as assigned for therapy!
quote:
and is carpal tunnel a serious problem?
It can be if not resolved!
Take a look at those recommendations above...
