Wrist injury from row on Smith Mach

pad Posts: 3 Joined: 2008/02/12	2008/02/12, 02:29 AM I injured my left wrist from doing upright rows on the smith machine about 2 weeks ago. As I pulled the bar near my chin it became too heavy and went back down fast while i was holding it and my left wrist has been feeling a strain ever since. I for the most part dont feel the strain when im rotating the wrist in circular motion. I feel it mostly when i am holding a hammer curl grip and moving my wrist downwards in a chop motion. I feel it most when im doing bicep curls or pull ups otherwise im fine when doing bench press etc. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

GIVE IT TIME TO HEAL. -------------- FOR MY WIFE: Her little ring was a little thing but it was all that i could afford now shes mine all mine till the day i die and i never wanted nothing more 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
