No wraps, but it sounds like I may try them. I talked to a kid at the gym that is some kind of hand specialist and he said it sounds like some kind of tendonitis. He said basically I have to take it easy for a while. I seem to get the pain mostly when I am curling heavy with a BB or EZ curlbar… I still get slight pain with a DB. When I let the bar go after my set is when it hurts the worst.

I am in the same boat with dropping some winter fat. I have been eating cleaner and slighlty less the last month and see a difference. In the very near future I am going to start running sprints as a form of HIIT and switch my routine to a full body routine.
