I've taken about 3 weeks off gym to rest my wrist. I've had some pain in it, noticeable when applying pressure at certain angles (like if I put my palm upwards and put light pressure downwards on my hand while resisting the pressure). It seems to be recovering but really slowly. It also now clicks when I rotate it clockwise.I'm a bong so it seems a bit pointless to visit the doctor (the process takes way too long and I'll likely get generic advice after a month of waiting). I wanted to wait until it was fully recovered since it seems like the kind of thing that wont get better with continued stress on it.Anyone else had issues like this? It's really frustrating and my grip is the bottleneck at the gym, to the point now that its causing me to miss it entirely.
do you do anything at all to strengthen them? wrist curls? rotating hammers? planks?
>>77000861I don't - I also have genetically tiny thin wrists :(
>>77000863i suggest you adjust your routine to include wrist training from here on out.
>>77000857Yeah I had for a while after doing heavy bag work without proper wraps once. Took about 6 months for it to fully heal on its own. I didn't see a doctor or anything.YMMV but wrist problems are a bitch. For some arm workouts I bought a pair of picrel that can be attached to cables and stuff. You just have to wear it further up onto the forearm to avoid putting strain on your wrist.
>>77000861virtually every pulling exercise strengthens your wrists. the problem is usually going too hard. conventional fitness advice is mental retardation. lighten the weight. don't train to failure. stop listening to retarded trolls on fit
>>77000857This guy and his wife have lots of wrist-focused exercises and harm prevention advice:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBsbchIk77IGood luck out there fag
>>77000861Its basically 4 exercises. Meme grip thing is optional. This ancient shitpost is entirely correct. But it would be nicer to see a more /fit/ version of it
