Arms/wrists at shoulder width.

I wesr a brace for my elbow due to the same sort of thing.

Or, I have a set of ankle weights that I strap on my wrists.
I had the same problem as you.
Removing my hands from the equation did the trick for me.

for the wrist weights

People often forget to stretch those tendons/muscles before and after activity. For massage, just make little circles with your thumb or fingers from the opposite hand working the muscles on the opposite hand/wrist/forarm.

This improves circulation which is critical to get those cells making the "upgrades" you are asking for. Even the areas that are not obviously sore are involved.

You will need to stretch up through your shoulders because of the way our bodies muscle systems work. If you are unsure how to go about this, check around for someone who does therapuetic massage, in one session they can give you a good massage and key you in on how to stretch, but you'll have to specifically ask about how to stretch, and what to stretch.


Also -- are you eating your veggies? Exercise with poor nutrition is going to be less valuable -- are you feeding the cells the right stuff?

Everytime I've run into temporary ongoing muscle/tendon pain do to activity, it always comes down to finding the right areas to massage/stretch.

Good luck with your progress and glad you are on the "up" side of the proces!
