I'll add that you can probably wear a wrist strap while weightlifting to give em extra support.
As for the dogs, you might look into leash training for your dog or getting those harnesses where if the dog pulls hard, his head is pulled a bit back, so he stops pulling hard. I'm sure this is a common problem with dog owners and training your dog is one way of reducing the risks of injury. Risk Management is good but so is conditioning oneself for the worst, coz injuries do happen. How one comes back from them is more important and relevant as compared to how one gets injured. And don't let the fear of getting injured affect anything. I recommend fish oil in general, not specifically for this issue. I'm still trying out Glucosamine. Some say there are no scientific studies to suggest that it helps. So I'm trying to see if it works for me. Overall health checkup would'nt hurt to know oneself, i.e in which vitamins/minerals is one deficient in and take appropriate measures in filling up the gaps. -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

Well, try to save your fingers as much as possible. You seem to know well what you need to do, just try to do it. Don't ever start a session without warming up, and always increase tension gradually, that is a generalized example of how to save the fingers. If you do this, you can be sure nothing serious can happen. If you experience pain, stop and rest, if there is pain everyday, make a longer break, and massage the fingers. It will be OK. If the problem persist go see a specialist.

A recently released report studying the long term effects of Glucosamine showed very little to no added benefits. I suggest saving your money and doing the exercises.

A very simple one is to start playing easy stuff whenever you practice for at least 15mins
then you can move on to more physically demanding licks -------------------- Visit my:
