LHTAPTDA = Lift Heavy Things And Put then Down Again.

LHTAPTDA = Lift Heavy Things And Put then Down Again. Any strength exercise that uses the big tendons on the inside of your wrists. Weights, rowing, swimming, rock-climbing, etc.

CTI = Carpal Tunnel Inflammation. The tightness in your wrists after too much fine-motor work - typing, playing an instrument, etc. Also called RSI but let's be specific here.

@TomF Potentially not a useful datapoint, but I started LHTAPTDA a few years ago and it completely fixed my lower back problems caused by being a professional chair user. Can recommend. Can't comment on CTI.

@TomF Light, recreational rock climbing keeps my CTI at bay. I've had to take a two-month break and my right wrist is feeling it.

[tomf@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@debiatan Yeah, if I take a break from rowing for some reason (usually travel), my wrists say "hey - lazy fuck - get back on the torture machine."

[tomf@mastodon.gamedev.place]

Derp - only four options, so I missed the "never had CTI, but do LHTAPTDA" option, which would have been a useful "preventative" data point. Because I know you're all fucking nerds on here. Feel free to tick the first or fourth option according to vibes.

@TomF never had CTI, but I moved early to a dvorak-like keymap (bepo 18 years ago), generally (lightly) care about ergonomics of the work station ; and do LHTAPTDA, very recently, but not linked either.
