✅ Bulletproof Your Wrists!

Wrist Health 🧬

Do you incorporate direct wrist/forearms work?👇🏽

⦿ People: I have wrist pain. Can you recommend some stretches?
⦾ Me: let’s better get stronger.

Don’t get me wrong, wrist stretches can be wonderful to warm up, prevent injuries
(to some degree) and increase range of motion. However, building strong and robust wrists is what we really want for a true long term solution.

🙅🏽‍♂️ If you are in pain, these might not be the best exercises for you. You are better off resting, and allowing the area to heal first. Add some light movements and when the pain subsides, is time to strengthen the area.

The following 4 exercises can be done with a light band. We will move through the major functions of the wrist: extension, flexion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation; which are all controlled by your forearm muscles.

Exercises are self explanatory so I won’t waste space in detailing their execution. Just make sure the resistance is in line with the wrists, and that you choose a manageable weight.

➤ Reps: ~10-20r
➤ Sets: 2-5x
➤ X/Week: 2-4

Final thoughts: this is not something that MUST be done forever. Rather, make a commitment to focus on your wrist/grip strength for 4-8 weeks. Then you can maintain and repeat when you feel the need.

Any additional questions bellow!
Thanks for being here.

With Love,

I also do the same thing with a dumbbell when sitting. I love this variation

[ismailtrpan]

I wrote before and i write again. Your short videos are intense and good. Way better than most meaningless long videos. Kudos gents.

[hightfly]

Very smart way to train wrists with bands. Thank you !

[calisteniodios]

I like ur workouts especially like these ones where the more intense stuff is out of question due to maybe if ur sick or injured etc

[barathvishaal]

[Dinarac]

Very interesting, thanks ! And how would it be with rings or sangles, please ?

[harshhhh]

Can you recommend any of your video for full body stretching before calisthenics. I viewed your full playlist but got confused which one to do.

[agusdomingo]

Quick question, would this exercises help me to improve my wrist flexibility? I couple of months ago I injured my left wrist playing tennis and I`ve lost a lot of mobility and flexibility ever since.

[VVHAMI]

Is it good for treating wrist tendonitis?

[GB-ldlf]

This can be used for a warm up before a workout?
