Exactly what it says. Benched 365 5x Monday and all was well till I turned my wrist a certain way when I was done and heard a rather painful/loud POP. I went all week with slight pain in the wrist. Ive broken my wrist before, so this time the pain wasnt that extreme to where I thought it was something major till this morning, when I woke up to find my hand swollen to the point to my fingers looked like Ball Park franks and the tingling sensation in my finger tips/wrist was unbearable, also my hand was turning a blue/light purple. No surgery needed but, I am currently in a sling and thank god Im in the PCT portion of the cycle.

Idk about the ligaments part yet, Im getting an mri monday to see but the doc said most likely i do. Ive broken this wrist once before as well as my hand 3 times also. Shit fucking sucks and hurts like hell. The nurse gave me a shot of morphine and didnt help so she gave me another one and then BAM I was on cloud nine for the better part of the day. Kinda blows considering this cycle ive put on 25 pounds and only lost around 3/4 pounds of it and with that being said, this was the best cyxle ive done so far. PCT is def gonna be a hard go around this time for me.

This is why at 225 we put on very good wrist wraps like Inzer Blacks!

First off 365x5 is pretty impressive. Second, sorry to hear about the injury. It always seems no matter how much progress you make something always holds you back.

I sometimes worry about my wrists when I get up over 400. They seem to hold up fine but they usually hurt when done with a set.

I'm really sorry. Make sure you give it time to heal, you don't want to injure yourself further.

I always take precautions and wrap my wrist's when going heavy. I know my training partner even wraps the elbows after adding 4 cookies to each side on the the incline. Hope you heal up and have a fast recovery brother!!!
