Wrist Pain

[Friscochick]

I have wrist pain also, mostly when doing shrugs or deadlifts.. I use wrist wraps, i get a really good grip with those. However, they are not a soultion to your problem, just a suggestion to help you for now. You'll need to work on your grip, that takes time. I still haven't mastered it...



hope that helps..
you can get those at any sporting good store.

Your wrists and bicep tendons take a beating with WSB. Think about it...You are holding the bar and putting pressure in the palms of your hands 4x per week. Gm's, Squats, Bench press, Board Press.

Learn to move your hands out wide...it will pay off in the long run. Do you have a good pair of wrist wraps?

Wrist Straps I never used them before.......

I did front squats last night and as a result have wrist pain...keeping my elbows up puts a lot of of strain on them. I am at a computer at work for most of the day so as a result my forearms are t-i-g-h-t. I've been periodically stretching them...probably not nearly enough.

Chalk your back so the bar doesn't slide. If the bar is set right, it shouldn't strain the wrists.

Thanks for the suggestions..... I will "check" my form and see if the bar is to high.

Thanks CC
