I've been doing HST for almost five years now and have been lifting regularly for almost 10 years. While almost completely healed from regular carpel tunnel, I had something strange happen to me: bent rows, halfway through my 10s, on rep 6 or so, and my right hand grip started to fail!
I'm now very close to permanent ulnar nerve damage and have been told to stop weightlifting -- possibly for life.
One doc, when trying to determine the cause of this problem, found out I recently made some rapid weight gains (yes, HST does work!) THAT's how it started was his diagnosis.
I find this prognosis to be utter bullcr*p:
1. We have a forum full of HSTers that frequently make weight gains and there was only one thread that I could find that hinted a similar problem?
2. Over the last five years, I have made even greater gains at a faster rate before and this has never happened before
That said, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe some of you have had nerve related problems such as ulnar nerve inflammation and/or carpel tunnel. I also have switched my exercise equipment to older, less ergonomic, machines in the past two years.
