Guest Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Got the idea for these from @JStepien . These are wicked hard. I can definitely see an unconditioned wrist snapping with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I’ve seen them done on the floor... just never in the standing position like this. As I was going Down with this the amount of force it took to stop the hammer from going below 90 degrees was brutal!! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Yep a good exercise. You need to try out my "Wrist Thingy" some time. Edited May 10, 2018 by climber511 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasraymond Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Joe try to keep your elbow tucked into your side to isolate the wrist a lot more versus flaring the elbow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a weight that you can control for reps - not something you wonder if you can do it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasraymond Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I made a handle that when held in a neutral wrist position the weight is angled at about 45 deg from vertical so there is pressure even at neutral for AW starting position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
