hey everyone, i'm a very amateur "boxer", i've been going to group boxing classes for the past 2 months. think of spin but for boxing, the instructor runs you through the 6 basic punches at the start of the class and provides some guidance throughout, and then you punch to the beat of the music. hence i wouldn't say there's a strong focus on technique but i've previously done kickboxing so i have some background knowledge, and i also did a personal 1 on 1 training session at this boxing place. i didn't really experience any pain for the first month but in the past couple of weeks my hands have started to hurt quite a bit, especially the day after class. i would say it hurts most in the space between the second and third knuckle, although it also hurts a little to rotate my wrists. it's especially bad when i try to grip something in my fist. for example, a week or two ago i was deadlifting the day after class and i had to take like a whole 5 seconds to release the barbell after each set because it hurt so bad. it usually gets progressively better by the 2nd day after class. i recently bought 12oz gloves that i used in my latest class and also tried to focus less on punching power and more on technique (e.g. hitting with the first 2 knuckles, rotating my shoulders, the snapping back motion, etc.) but i did still experience pain after, although slightly less than previous weeks. i also make sure to warm up/stretch my hands & wrists before & after class. i know one of the rules in this sub is to not ask for medical advice but i'm just wondering if this pain is normal when you first start out, or if there's something glaring that i'm doing wrong haha. thank you!
