Dips and carpal tunnel?
I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists, and I am finding that doing the dips aggravates it immensely. I enjoy doing the dips otherwise, and am very excited about continuing this program. So, I have a question for anyone else who might be experiencing wrist pain/discomfort...
Are there any kind of braces you use for this? The ones I sleep with have a metal bar down the center, and are not suitable for doing dips. Or any alteration techniques you know of?

Do a LOT of stretches before hand.
Alter your grip in some way that there is more emphasis placed upon your palm than on your wrist. It's very awkward to explain without a diagram.
