How do I prevent sore wrists whilst doing my weight lifting routine?

When doing push ups, don’t do them open hand. Make a fist, and do them on your knuckles.

@filmfann I tried that and it hurt. The thing about all the other things I do is that I am in plank position for them which is essentially push up position. So I spend a lot of time on my wrists.

Shakeweight.

Yes, @judochop. Tranquilsea, you should get a shakeweight; you should probably make a video so we can see if you’re using it correctly, and we’ll give you tips…...

Or, wrist workouts would help as well. If your wrists hurt, give them muscle.

Why wouldn’t they be gaining muscle as I do my regular weights?

Try some swivelling pushup bars like Perfect Pushup. They allow your wrists to swivel while you are doing the pushups, which may take some of the strain off your wrists.

@tranquilsea They are, but there are wrist-specific workouts that are more effective. Maybe work on the wrists first, then go back and there will be a difference.

I’ll look at wrist specific exercises and I’ll get swivelling push up bars.

Thanks guys :-)

Wrist wraps might help.
