My wrist has been in so much pain for over a year! I messed it up trying to learn to do handstands... You have no idea the relief I got after doing this video... Thank you so much ... PS. yoga with Adrienne wrist video with this one helped me so much. Thank you
Great routine! For my reference: 1. Wrist rock (index finger forward) 2. Finger push-ups 3. Fist to flat back wrist pancake 4. Hands/fingers reverse (to me), bend elbows towards knee 5. Wrist fist rock forward to thumb, back to heavy loaded back fist 6. Back wrist pancake twist 270 away back to out
I'm overweight, unhealthy, and new to fitness. I tried this exercise for the first time just now. The one where you where rolling one the top of the fist. That felt like it was going to rip my thumb off. The rotation of the wrists was more difficult for me than I imagined. I realized recently that my wrists and ankles didnt have as much mobility as I thought they did. Im grateful to have stumbled across this channel.
Probably one of the most important videos on your channel. The importance of wrist strengthening is paramount to any activity done with body weight Warming up, stretching and strengthening are so important with all these movements on your channel
I'm in my mid 30s and getting back in to Breakdancing for exercise. I didn't have to do this stuff when I was in my 20s. My wrist have been killing me so I really needed this. Thanks!
Same for me 29 y/o and starting to breakdance but my upside of my wrist hurts when I push too much power on my hand. Preventing me from handstands etc.
OMG, these stretches are amazing. I am a massage therapist and have been practicing for 22 years and I always stretch my hands. But you just gave me some even more awesome stretches and saved my hands. My hands thank you so much. :)
Thank you for making this! I broke the distal ulnar head of BOTH my wrists last summer. This follow along became my daily evening routine to get my mobility back. Occasionally when they get stiff from work I'll throw this on and grit it out. Keep up the great content!
Hi Josh! I was waiting for this topic from your side, cause I play drums, lot of movement and vibrations transfers through wrists during drumming, so drummers need healthy wrists. Your approach is fantastic, so simple, yet mostly beneficial. I can already feel the effect of this routine, not like anything else I've seen online, it addresses the right muscles and hamstrings. Thanks so much man, keep it going!
Thank you for everything coach. Youve helped me greatly in life. Im trying to create a daily routine to do when wake up (wrists , feet, core, neck) then do stregth (squats etc)
So thankful I found your channel. I was an athlete growing up and it took a toll on my body for sure. I just turned 24 and have lots of issues with my back, knees and right ankle. I’m an esthetician now so most of my work is with my hands and wrists and now they’re starting to bother me too (been an esthetician for only 4 years). I didn’t realize how tight my wrists and hands were until this video. Tooooooo tight 😬
Thank you very much Josh for all your follow along video. I really enjoy them even though I’m a beginner. My goal is to have a body that I’m proud of. I know I have quite away to go, but will NOT give up.
This video was awesome thank you, working at a computer all day, I never realized my wrists for arms and hands were so tight. Will definitely be working on this in the mornings. Now I see how much my lack of hand and wrist mobility has been affecting my workouts! So glad I found your channel early on in my fitness journey
Where has this been all my life! The past couple years I’ve had minor wrist pain, it’s gotten better but since ive been so physically active (rock climbing working out and playing guitar) my wrists have started to hurt a little more. This is my first day trying this and it feels great, thanks for the video.
I wanted to say thanks for this video... This actually released the tension and pain in my inner elbow which i had got from doing chin ups . Now i do these as warm up routine every workout... Works wonders. So anyone who has elbow pain due to overuse .. may have it because of less wrist flexibility , forearm muscle weakness and weak rotator cuff..so strengthening them is necessary to take load off of elbow joint.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Between lifting weights and using my computer, I've been injuring my wrist on and off for the past few years. I'm only 33 but feel like I have old man wrists. Just after 2 sessions of this routine, I've never felt such a good stretch in my wrist/hand/forearm. A lot of the pain has already cleared up!
I'm super, super stiff on the wrist rocks and then very stretchy on the flexions, so much so it doesn't even feel like a stretch! I'm learning to surf and need to be able to push up from the wrists, so planning on doing this a lot. Thanks for another excellent video. Your channel has changed my life, no kidding.
This is great. Started doing some basic calisthenics and my right wrist is very tight. I play the drums and when you play your dominant hand plays at least twice as much so it works more. I have always get a terrible cramp in my hand for the last 20 years if I'm not constantly focusing on technique (over-gripping). We have a really freaky stretch in drum core where you hold the sticks in both hand palm up and wrap one hand in at time into double flexion while still holding the sticks. It's the best. Thing is I never realized until now that it's only one part of wrist flexibility. While you said it was hard for you at first to do the wrist flexion stretch, mine is very good because this is literally the only stretch I've ever done with consistency in my life. I found that my right hand can barely lift up for a finger pushup while my left hand can do 90 degrees. This is most likely the issue. Most musicians only learn like 1 or 2 stretches, but we probably need a good 5-6 wrist and finger stretches for warmup. I never though about stretching my individual fingers until I started playing bass a month ago. Learning guitar is just pain man. I then found 4 types of finger stretches which helped with drumming too. Only issue is I now need to spend stretch fingers wrists, arms and legs before playing??? Getting old sucks.
I believe that wrist training is often overlooked underencouraged. This year's goal for me is to gain upper body strength, to solve my shoulder pain and eventually do handstands on the wall. And for this type of calistenic training, strong wrists and fingers are a key factor. Even though I try not to overlook training them, I still sometime get ackes even when I don't push them too far. They are weak and I want to shift this into my training focus. I will be doing this training, thank you for it!
Thank you. I need to recover strength in my wrist after a double open fracture in my forearm while I was working. I dont have muscle, literally was cut when the bones opened the arm, so there is only a free space. I will be disciplined and do this gently.
Dude im a beginner the work outs are intense man its a struggle but pushing to make it less struggle appreciate the value oh i am 37 to years of non exercise but real determined to push this and become awesome
Thank you so much i have been suffering from wrist pain and i had difficulty doing front squats because of lack of wrist mobility.. now I'm slowly started to get better after doing this routines before my workouts
I know this video is a little older, but have you considered putting out a follow along for wrist exercises after coming out of an injury in that area. It would be nice to have a guide to ease me back into gaining some strength and durability in that area
Yes! Someone else who actually says pointer finger! That's what I learned to call it in pre-K and I still call it that. I don't see or hear anyone or anything else calling it that, so glad to know I'm not the only one.
Josh, thanks again for this routine. Having a lot of wrist/forearm pain from years of jammed wrists in ice hockey and now caring for my very active 2year old twin boys. I will be adding this to my workouts a few times a week. Thanks again, keep up the good work!
Thanks, man, been needing this. computers killing my flex starting from real bad place (hurts to do push ups) 1) can barely get to 90 degrees 2) can barely lift hand off floor 3) could do okay 4) almost impossible for me right now 5) not so bad 6) not so bad I hope doing these will help in long term. Thanks again
My dude I freaking love u I have a wrist injury since the 3 of August till now! And I did this just now and it feels a lot better I'm sure it will help me to get rid of this injury, if you could do an elbow bulletproof video it will help a lot love u my dude hope to meet you some day and sit for a coffee
My hands and forearms are very tight from using a smartphone! It makes it hard to do yoga- planks and down dogs. Thank you for this class- I do it often.
Thanks for the follow along man I like these! If you're like me and you have gamer tendons , these are a sore reminder of how much we need to work on hand , wrist, and forearm mobility so we can train and be healthy without injury. I add some rotations and shakes at the end. I also hold my arms straight out in front of me, one goes over the top of the other (palm to palm) then you pull the other hand into wrist flexion and slowly rotate that hand laterally - feels amazing, go slow and painfree!
this is pretty great! I play FPS games pretty competitively and with all the fast and repeated mouse movements it can strain your wrist and I think this will help prevent injury
Rating my wrists strength and mobility from 1 to Josh my right wrist is around 1 and my left around -5. Im not kidding Because my left wrist is so painful i always try to do some 7:37 one handed wrist flexion stretch, rocking forward (to make it less painful) until its comfortable (almost all the way) and put on some pressure then rock backwards until i almost feel the pain. Thanks for the video. will try your routine more often :)
i had a broken scaffoid with grafts and later on paralysis in that arm and i have never been able to use my wrist without pain since. these exercises show me just how much difference there is now between wrists and im sure these will help rehab me to full use with no pain... ps holding a gaming controller is horrible for wrist health so definitely limit that in my opinion
Hey dude! Been following your videos for quite a while now and I just subscribed. I really like them, some of them are really hard but also really good for posture, general strength and mobility. Much respect from Uruguay ✊🏼🔥💪🏻
How often can i do these stretches? Like everyday? I play alot o tennis and padel så my underarms are getting very big and unflexible ;P Awesome channel thank u
Thanks this is helping me greatly. Being that im a Parkour Althete and alot of these wrists exercises are some i do. Working to strengthen my body even more. In Pk we use our wrist all the time from a basic landing to kongs to cat leaps to walls etc. So strength them are very important to prevent injury and approve your wrists abilities. And last longer in the sport and in general. Your recover way faster and never feel pain. I also liked and subbed with bell fam. I watching your bulletproof joints playlist. Thx🤙✊✨

Finally the wrist, thank you sir.
Thanks dude. HELPED my guitar practice this morning shred extra hard. I don’t wanna be that old guy who can’t play because his wrist are locked up.
Very cool! Didn't think of it but definitely a lot of wrist positions in guitar!
Hell yea, drums too.

At 3:45 😅 "wrists"... the humor in your videos keeps me coming back! Ofcourse your workout methods are effective too.

I'm recovering from a scaphoid fracture this helps a lot even though it's really painful working through getting that mobility back
That's why I'm here too. I Fell off a roof and landed on my hand, hope that you recovered up well king!
Hi Josh! I was waiting for this topic from your side, cause I play drums, lot of movement and vibrations transfers through wrists during drumming, so drummers need healthy wrists.

that's great to hear man. Wow I don't drum but I can only imagine the stress that puts on the wrists. Keep em healthy!
Thank you for everything coach. Youve helped me greatly in life. Im trying to create a daily routine to do when wake up (wrists , feet, core, neck) then do stregth (squats etc)

howd you do did your wrist mobility improve?
Hey! Any updates? :)
Thanks.. my hand feel better👍🙏
i audibly gasped at the reversed wrist flexions. such a good stretch!
These are great! This is a reinforcement of my routine. Super! Thank you.
I just arrived to the Chanel, had back fusion done early this year and want to stat building back and core mobility! Thanks for posting.
Excited to start your new program!
Thanks Josh 👍🏻

Happy to hear that brother! Make sure your wrists and shoulders are functioning nicely and usually the elbows will be good 😀 coffee!
I’ve found that doing these bulletproof workouts beneficial as I get older. I feel better overall: thank you! 🏋🏿♀️
Working on your forearms is a good thing too, improving your radial and ulnar deviation will help you to become stronger on your wrists.
Nice Josh, you're helping a lot of people! Thank you a big lot.
Thanks really needed this
