Wrist Exercises

[martialartsmad]

Hey i waz wondering if anyone new any good exercises for building strength in ur wrists. thanx

[SamTheMan]

Get a large stick or pipe, and hold it in the middle and rotate it,or you can do abanicos (fan strikes and stuff). Try to work on speed instead of strength, and your wrists get stringer and more flexible over time.

Its what i do.

Thought you were going to discuss your favorite wrist excercise. Make sure to develop the other wrist too

[Hardball]

1.) Do your push ups on your knuckles, 2.) buy a hand squeezing device 3.) squeeze a rubber ball and 4.) Joint a jujitsu dojo.

[darkrelevance]

bend in your hands and do pushups, so that your palms are facing upward towards you, with the back of your hand on the ground. do a couple of those everyday and it should make your wrists stronger.

[martialartsmad]

Thanx i will work on those ideas.

Wrist pushups.

[EmptyneSs]

masturbation. lots and lots of masturbation, making sure to use both hands equally.

[NickL]

Reverse wrist curls and wrist curls with dumbells or barbells.

Punch a heavy bag.

Attach a weight to a thick bar by a string and turn the bar with both hands alternating to wind up the string, then lower the weight the same way. A thicker bar while produce better results than a thinner one.

Wrist curls are a great excercise to do.

Wrist Roll-up

Nice. The reverse grip is also good too.

Have you guys heard of wrist roll ups?

You have a bar with a good 4-5 feet of rope tied around the center in a tight not. The other end of the rope can be tied around a 5lb or 10lb weight. You roll the bar from the ground all the way up to the bar by twisting action of the bar making the rope roll around the center of the bar, then same thing on the way down.

It will burn your forearms like no tomorrow.

Oh man, I know exactly what you're talking about. Great excercise, and really easy to make. The first time I did it, my muscles were sore for days.

hey martialarts mad,

there are many different wrist exercises that you can do.

personally i have suffered with wrist and joint pain over the year, as i do a lot of mma and find that the pressure that my wrists are under can often make things worse e.g. griping the gui, wrestling holds and Thai clinches and striking etc.

i find that the best solution is to focus on sensible stretching and warming up first before working the wrists using resistance.

i like to do a lot of body weight exercises like bar hangs as they help to build wrist and grip strength, but i will also use a variety of wrist exercising tools such as kettlebells, dumbells and a gripstik.

if you need full descriptions of each exercise, check out the wrist exercises blog.

tip - throw some krill oil into your diet for extra joint lubrication

good luck

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but a while back I saw this video on youtube. It does require some equipment...

Also if you're doing wrist curls make sure not to use weights that are too heavy.
