Back in early Feb. I was doing close-grip press static holds, obviously with a lot of weight, and due to my wrist not being properly supported I wound up developing an extremely painful ganglion in my wrist.
I was put on strong anti-inflammatory meds for a couple of weeks which did not help the problem, and now it looks like I will have to undergo surgery sometime this summer to remove it which will make me unable to do lifting of any kind for several weeks while it heals.
Moral of the story: Make sure to have proper wrist support when lifting heavy!
