hand grippers and tendonitis

[Bali Otto]

Hi everyone, I bought some hand grippers to do some work out at the office, but I started feeling some discomfort on my wrist, I wonder if those things can cause tendonitis.

ANY exercise done to exercise is a recipe for problems. I'll bet you're doing the gripper work far, far too much

you don't need hand grippers to build strong hands and wrists.

simply lift raw at the gym and you will build it

I agree with @stevesmi

If you train without straps, wrist wraps, gloves etc. you will be indirectly training your hands/wrists and develop strong hands.

I have never used a hand gripper and no one has said I have a weak handshake yet..

I, of course, have. But I specialized in grip.

Any exercise can cause a problem if it isn't done correctly or is done in excess. Like I recommend with everything......if it is causing you issues then stop doing it.
