Workout around the wrist I did put in a lot more work on the lower body since I had the elitefts SSB bar. It made training around the wrist so much easier. One thing I did notice was my first strongman day back (yesterday) my log press didn't drop very much even though I didn't train much upper body for the past 5 weeks. It was a reminder of how much leg drive I use with submax weights on the log. There's no doubt my mind that the SSB squats helped me maintain as much of my press as possible. I did deadlift last Thursday with straps. This didn't seem to bother my hand/wrist very much at all. The reason I had to pull with straps is because I still can't supinate my wrist without pain. My technique suffers when I wear straps and since I haven't trained the deadlift in 7 weeks my pull felt weak and slow. The good news is I know it'll bounce back quickly.
