I think there are some tape techniques to stabilize it but it's your thumb.

Buy those wraps I posted earlier. The compression will help keep you from reinjuring it.



Suck. I sprained my thumb in school. It took FOREVER to heal. Couldn't hardly write for a month.

I bought a brace last night. It worked. Didn't get hurt again in the game tonight, so that's good. Still can't even crank the car because I can't put enough pressure on the key to turn it lol

I found some on Amazon around $15-20 a piece. If the pain comes back then I'll buy them. I think the shoes helped a lot.

Elliot Hulse knows more about strength training than most of us ever will. Definitely worth checking out his videos.

Theres no doubt in my mind it creates an incredible strain on the heart if pushed for distance, what I/many many people do is different... we blast out in short bursts, take a short rest then blast again... but it isn't prolonged torture on the heart and lungs.

If theres one thing I HATE its long distance running, that shits just plain old unnatural... I circuit train to keep my heart rate up ie; short distance, high output followed by prolonged but steady effort such as my newly coined "picnic table jumping"... been doing it for years, just now gave it a name.

Did my first bit yesterday, mostly just stretching and warm up jogging... it hurt like hell and still does, oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Start that bitch with your forefinger and middle finger. You'll hate life far less.

Mind telling me which brace you got in case I ever do it again? I hyperextended it last year and almost pooped my pants. It turned out to be not bad at all, but I was worried about it. I'm epic boned without my thumb.



Buy them now and wear them. Don't **** around with shin splints.

Penguin, I don't want to have to go way back and find it, but you did say something to the effect of "cardio is a waste" right?

So... Today is personal trainer day, we're going over dead lifts, and it's leg day.

It's like a triple bonus!
