Rice Bucket Routine: Strengthening Your Hands and Reducing Repetitive Use Injuries
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- For anyone who uses their hands a lot, from rock climbers to people sitting at a computer all day, injuries like carpal tunnel and elbow tendinitis tend to pop up seemingly out of nowhere.
That’s because the mechanisms of these injuries seem like no big deal when done in isolation. For example, no one has ever typed a sentence in a keyboard and developed carpal tunnel. However the thousands of repetitions in the same position for months or years on end tend to develop stress patterns that ultimately lead to these presentations.
So how do we keep that from happening? Make sure the whole system gets worked. When we strengthen our wrist extensors for example, our wrist flexors won’t over dominate and maintain an ungodly amount of resting tension.
Give these variations a try and let me know what you think!
Definitely need to do more of this. Thanks for the tips!
criminally underrated. tbh I should just probably do these consistently to keep the pain from coming back instead of training until it goes away and then be like "ah sh!t, here wo go again" 12 months later xD
Thanks! Will do some of them as a therapist very unbalances with all the massaging and forward posture all day. Thank you
Great video.
Wonderful video. Did a few sets of wrist circles and my acute pain is already gone. Hopefully I'll be able to get rid of the pain during exercise completely when doing rice buckets consistently for some time
I have some wrist pain. Would you recommend this?
@@dabear7862 his comment says he does doesnt it?☺
@@DickOswald This comment restored my faith in humanity lol
Great exercise
Great Demo, Thank you.
I have a question, if I already work with flexion a lot why would I train it here?
Focus on extention instead
Great for knots in hand* from typing* My knot is slowly going away ** Thank you *
Thanks for sharing!
Question for you sir! I am a manual laborer and find myself doing a ton of flexion based motions throughtout my day. Does it make sense to only train extension to try to redistribute that stress as you say? Or would it be beneficial to also train flexion? My elbow does not fully extend and I have a hard time reaching a full range of motion when supinating my forearm. My right forearm is noticably bigger than my left from swinging a mallet and using it as my dominant hand. Thank you very much!
Is the cardboard so you see any rice that falls?
how often should this be done for best results? As in maximum growth and impact but ample time for recovery?
once a day
Thanks for sharing! One question, if you can answer my doubt please, I will be grateful: why rice and not sand?
Maybe it's because rice won't compress like sand? Just spit balling.
Do you think this could help release ulnar nerve entrapment i have in both hands?
I'm a full-time web developer and computer game fanatic. Mix that with an online Masters program I completed recently, and I got severe tennis elbow in BOTH elbows (constantly typing and slide-cancelling in Call of Duty are the culprits). I practically lived at my desk for a few years.
I'm now at a point where I can't sit at my desk for longer than 30 mins. Holding up my phone causes the issue to flair up. Can't do puzzles and tinker with small things like Legos. And obviously can't game like I used to. It really sucks. I got a PRP injection in one elbow (that was more severe), and that along with rehab has helped a lot.
I'm really hoping exercises like this can help me build strength so I can return to doing some of these things that I miss so much. 🤞
Yes but yo mama
I would love some updates, are you training with rice bucket? did it worked?
@@Lucas-mp5dw so far, no luck, but I'm still putting in work. kneesovertoesguy has an elbow routine that I'm following, and I continue to do rice bucket stuff. shit sucks :/
@@vintkoI have a similar dilemma. Have this method helped you yet?
One thing that helped me was laying flat on your back like Jesus on the cross on a foam roller (it’s about a meter in length) and then moving your arms towards the centre of your body until your hands meet.
@@Simonnnnnnnify no. Hasn’t really helped. Surprisingly, I’m finding SHOULDER exercises to be helping a lot more (lateral and medial shoulder rotations on cable machine). I completely stopped doing exercises that focused on my injury and worked further up the chain. Seems to be helping but not 100% yet.
Do you mix a powder in? You hands look chalky
Will this thicken up the hands?
any strengthening of the hands will do that to a certain extent. By no means is this better than picking up heavy things or hanging in terms of grip strength.
Every day? Or every other day? 2,3,4 times a week?
I think after every workout session
is it better to use sand or rice?? or even steelshot???
Rice
Is it good for boxing too?
yes
No, rice has not got any arms so you will win too easily
Can I just leave my rice bucket sitting somewhere so I don’t have to keep buying rice?
I thought about the same thing
Yes, but put a lid on it
No you must replace the rice every single time otherwise it becomes very dangerous
@@AnthonyQuevedo is there something I can use other than rice?
I have been using the same rice for 6 months
its like in a old kungfu movie lol .
Will rice also work to strengthen your feet and toes?
I would suggest different drills for the feet. But if you have access to sand or a rock bed with smooth river rock, it's good to just walk barefoot on those surfaces for short periods of time to build up strength in the feet. If you don't have access to something like that working on some dynamic balance drills (I online these in my most recent video for runners knee) will be helpful.
Who else is here for Killer Queen Arcade taps?
How much does the rice keeps fresh? Doesn't it produce a lot of waste?
i think you can pass that rice on for generations. Its not cooked, mate
White rice has a shelf life of max 5 years
How many times a week
My coach makes me do 10 minutes every day bc I've had multiple fractures. Don't listen to "reps" TRUST me after an injury you will feel very very strong within two weeks. But if you stop doing it you'll feel weak. If you wear an ace bandage or hand wraps take them off when doing it and don't use sand. Every day you want to do a little bit more and do more than one excersize, like grabbing hard, then opening your hand ALL the way and opening your fingers wide.
@@juanthompson7818 I can attest to this, done it 15-30 mins a day everyday when I got my wrist fractured and now it's fully healed up
@@juanthompson7818
why don't use sand?
Hello
What kind of rice
the cheapest you can find. Doesn't really matter.
make sure to wash your hands and under your nails to remove the worms.
