كيف أن يمنع معصم ألم من ك وزن تدريب

Don’t know why but I experienced it and I saw a lot people bending their wrist as well, maybe the weight’s too heavy or something, but it feels better bending your wrist though you know it’s wrong, I think. Humans go for the easier way, don’t they? Well, of course some believed in the hard way for it shall benefit more.

I’m still new to free weights training and I still need my trainer to spot for me just in case my grip isn’t right.

Thanks for the tips. I used to play tennis and I know the importance of getting the right grip or else you’ll get either tennis elbow or a very bad wrist pain.

Take care! Hope your wrist gets better! ;-)

Hi Mun,

Hope you are doing ok. Thanks for the tips. Now I’ll be more careful when doin this exercise as I realised I tend to roll my wrist backward at times. Will perfect my technique in my next body pump class… Cheers!

i have experienced (still am, actually) wrist pain starting from a couple months ago. Its not due to poor form on benches etc, but i had an incident which requires me to dump a massive weight from the overhead position (from the top of a Clean & Jerk). since i dont have access to olympic style/rubber plates.. i was hesitant of dumping the massive steel plates directly to the floor, so i absorbed most of the impact/momentum of releasing the weight on my wrists, i had a sprained left wrist because of that.

training had been slow for the next few weeks after that, BUT i realized something good that’s coming out of the whole scenario. since the wrist is hurt.. I had to pay more and more attention of my grip placement and correct techniques on lifts like the Bench Press, Shoulder Press, etc… i noticed that with correct form, the wrist doesnt even hurt even on max lifts.

Correct grip is important and many people have hurt themselves by doing it wrongly (including me) before. Sometimes we even get the right grip at the first time but as we become more tired (or we are in the last rep), unconsciously our grip slipped and we ‘cheat’. the most common form of ‘cheat’ that I’ve done is the one illustrated in the third point.

Hi Mun,

I like your fitness blog! Your article describes exactly the same thing that happened to me recently as well as the reason why. As my strength bench pressing started to increase, I started to notice the same type of pain that you described. It usually lasted about a day, then simply went away. However, the most recent time that it happened–about six weeks ago, the pain just got worse. I haven’t been able to lift weights at all since then. When my sprained wrist finally heals, I will try the new technique that you suggest.

thanks,

Hi,

I just read from somewhere that people uses those white cellophane tape n stick straight on the hand. When you turn your hand to wrong positions, the tape will wrinkle…… seems to be a good indicator.

Hi mate
cheers for this, my wrist kills after coming off the bench, but i found that bending your wrist your actually ‘cheating’ i had to knock the weight down a few kilos whilst not bending my wrist.
cheers
