FCU/wrist tedinitis
« on: May 22, 2009, 07:43 PM »
Woo-hoo! new PR on the clean and jerk!

BUT...

...I hurt my wrist doing it :(
It is the FCU tendon:


Have any of you guys had this?

The culprit is the front squat part of the clean. Somtimes after the pull, and I end up catching the bar too far down on the delts towards the elbows instead of nice and deep and high on the delts towards the neck.

As a result my wrists get bent back way too far, and i end up in the position where my elbows in the rack are very close together.

How do I prevent this!?!?!?!

many thanks
