Profundus

Warm-up:
burpees, situps
dynamic squat stretching

3 rounds (95# bar):
6 deadlifts
6 barbell rows
6 hang power cleans
6 thrusters
6 pushups

Ran through a few rounds of a complex posted up at CF Sunnyvale, untimed as I haven't replaced my watch yet. Right forearm strain still tweaky, so didn't push it - HPCs in particular tend to be problematic.

Quick anatomy lesson: the flexor digitorum profundus controls finger flexion at the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, while the flexor digitorum superficialis handles flexion at the more proximal PIP. I'm pretty sure I have a profundus strain, as ring finger PIP flexion is fine but DIP flexion produces pain in the mid-forearm, near where the tendon inserts into the muscle.



Rest is really the only treatment, so I'm avoiding climbing for a few weeks (sorry, G).
