Stiff, Sore Hands!

[Ben Martin]

Latley at the gym i have been boxing the bag for 10 or more 2min rounds, ive been doing that every day or 2 and an average of 3200 meters in 15 mins on the rowing machine. after doing that plus weights my hands the next day are so sore and stiff. my ring finger on my right hand always kills after the rowing and i cant move it for about 10 secs after. i wear my wraps on the rowing machine to make a wider grip. does anyone know of anything that i can do to make my hands be less stiff and sore the next day or is there nothing i can do and it will just pass over time?

Thanks

try icing them after your workouts...also massage them with something like tiger balm or its equivalent.

Maybe you need more rest in between: stress + REST = success!

That's awesome! Yeah, everything should be done with periods of rest. If you want, you could also try soaking your hands in warm water, then rubbing cream on them. Make them feel as relaxed as possible.
