Regaining hand strength (diet, exercise)
Greetings all again in Health and Fitness. As some of you know, I have been an unlucky duck the last two years almost. Like FUBAR here and there.
I need to regain strength in a hand that was injured. Apparently there was bone breakage at the joint. I didnt think it would be so bad. My muscles have atrophied and my joint is stiff.
I have Therapy Dough and stretches, but is there any other advice for getting hand strength? I don't do supplements, but would more protein help? While not lactose intolerant, I don't like milk but will drink it. No sodas since mech. of injury.
I know you can get strength from holding plates but I cannot retain a plate in my hand. Menial tasks are doable but I literally have no strength in affected hand and it buckles from weakness if I try to use it/manipulate something with it.
Very frustrating as I can charge a slide but don't feel I could shoot two handed.
I realize this is not going to happen overnight but we have guys here who lift religiously and are better versed in nutrition.
Really I just want normalcy and comfort again.
Thanks for any advice. I am willing to do anything to regain strength without hurting myself(....again)
Wake the f*ck up, Samurai
