I have a theory that my muscles are relatively stronger than my joints, is this a legitimate thought process?
For instance I recently achieved a half body weight press with the 40kg bell, i have ran dry fighting weight and total tension with 32kgs, and done s&s with 40kg bells.
However the last couple months i have been setback with sharp pains in the wrists while doing another run through dfw and even while doing s&s with the 32kg bell.
Specifically my pinky and ring fingers are weak and go numb and the little bones in the wrist below them are sensitive.
Similarly i has to quit original strength crawling due to wrist and toe joint pain.
I was told in my early 20s (33 now) by the doc i had arthritis in both wrists and finger joints, so I suspect thats the main issue, but it just seems to me i am somehow capable of lifting heavier than my joints/tendons will allow.
I can do lighter weight complexes such as kettlebell muscle with much less issues, but dont seem to be as effective for me as low rep heavy weight work.
The docs just want to put me on high dose anti inflammatories and quit lifting which i dont 100% agree with.
Just looking for a little guidance, i hate to give up lifting all together, i suppose the complexes are better than no exercise at all.
Anyone have a similar issue? Any tips as far as anything to supplement with? All i take now is fish oil and try to eat a low inflammatory diet. What about adding cbd oil for instance?
Thanks in advance
