The problem is that my wrists swell from inside the next day after movements that load my wrist. I'm not saying that my wrist is weak, it's not, but I am in pain for almost 3 years now and it's driving me insane. I can't box, nor wrestle, I haven't put my palms flat on the floor in years because of it (everything is done on fists)... If I go to the doctor, they will probably operate on it, and that might make it even worse in the long run. I also tried training trough the pain, but it makes it a lot worse. So pain in inhibiting your wrist? That is terrible. You would most likely be even stronger if you could utilize the wrist. That would ruin my day man.

Have you tried Jedd's Fix my Wrist Pain Course? There was one movement in there that made an immediate difference for me, though I only had major pain in one wrist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have major pain while training, it's more like something is wrong inside. My right wrist clicks 3-5 times when I move my ulna, and on my left wrist I think my ulnar collateral ligament is torn 100%, since my ulna moves like 1 cm when pushed. 3 hours ago, Joseph Sullivan said: So pain in inhibiting your wrist?

The problem is the morning after where my wrists are hurting and they are swollen from the inside, and my movement is inhibited, and I'm only 25. That's why I'm dissuaded to train my wrists, since I don't want to make it worse, because I'm able to do about 80% of the things I want to do. But I have a feeling that sledge levering might help, but starting very light and focusing on volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a feeling that sledge levering might help, but starting very light and focusing on volume. I feel like sledge levering puts a ton of akward pressure especially on the ulnar-carpal ligaments. I Would personally recommend starting with isometrics. Holds for 30s with the sledgehammer at the side of your body to the front-resisting radial deviation and to the back-resisting ulnar deviation. Maybe some very light pronation/supination. Theres a good chance you just have a mis alignment also. If you have a good chiropractor in your area i would recommend that also. There is a chance something just needs to be realigned. Especially since you mentioned boxing that can easily cause things to move out of place. I had something similar happen. I also like the expand your hand bands. I do regular finger extension. Then I do sets where I hold the fingers in the extended position and flex and extend my wrist. Then I do sets where I hold the fingers in the extended position and pronate / supinate my wrist.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I actually did some, with a mop For 20 reps, 5 sets, and it didn't really bother me. Ulnar and radial deviation doesn't bother me that much. What bothers me the most is wrist flexion and resisting flexion (for example, barbell biceps curl) and rotational movements that are flexion oriented (like a hook in armwrestling). My father is actually a chiropractor and a physical therapist, but he takes my condition lightly since I'm constantly training like a madman, and I'm also pretty educated on the topic, so it's a deeper issue. I adjust it when it's not right, to me it feels like it's a soft tissue problem. I also perform IASTM treatments on myself and that helps, to a degree. I'm gonna start a serious rehab program, and figure it out using some resources mentioned here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I would not say that wrist training is helping crushing a lot in general, but if your wrist training is done with a sledge (levering) it does. A big part of sledge levering is the ability to hold the sledge tight, which is a similar activity for the fingers as a crush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned the hard way by not doing what is suggested here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
