Huh? Not 100% sure what that is. I will definitely check into it. Even when my wrists don't hurt from lifting they get sore a lot from work (welding and steel fab) so I am always looking for ways to help in this area.
I do do a couple of stretches on my wrists daily and I rub the hell out of them with icy hot a couple of times a week. I was seeing a massage therapist, in an attempt to avoid the surgery, and I picked up quite a few tips on loosening my forearms and relieving some of the pain.
I will have to check into my form on the extensions. Looking back on it, I probably got sloppy on the descent and rounded my back. I am sure that the ascent was good though. I will try them again sometime to check.
Thanks for all of the suggestions! Everybody that I know that lifts said that I just need to stop whining about it and just work through it.
