    I injured my wrist 3 years ago, and have been dealing with pain during push-ups and bench presses ever since. Went to a local physio, they couldn't do anything about it. And then Aaron just solves it overnight with a random UA-cam video... (The part at 3:00 specifically) My gym life in the past 3 years would have been so different if I had access to a professional like Aaron here. I am so happy and frustrated at the same time...

    I swear I spent 3 straight days researching hand anatomy and trying to find if/which tendon was giving me issues. And of course, you upload the perfect video to help me figure it out what’s going on!!

    This is genuinely incredible. I just did 5 reps of an overhead press with 65lbs and barely managed to eke out the last rep because of my wrist pain. I did one set of 10 of the banded joint mobilization on both sides, and then I pumped out 8 reps of the same overhead press like it was nothing-no pain at all. THANK YOU!!!!!

    Been dealing with wrist pain, mainly radial side, lack of range of flexion and extension, instability in the wrist joint itself, for a few years. Mainly, my wrist is pretty messed up. Really good explanations and an enlightenment of what I may have been doing wrong. I could use a video on how to tighten up the joint itself as some movements will actually cause slight shift in my wrist. Thanks

    Hurt my wrist 3 weeks ago, pushup position or any pressure pressing is impossible right now. Mental health going down the pan not being in the gym. Hopefully I can do these rehab exercises soon because that first one is way too painful at the moment and don't wanna make things worse.

  • @alien_anachronism
    @alien_anachronism 2 роки тому +3

    I was JUST worrying about my wrist pain when doing specifically renegade rows, since my right wrist in extended position against the dumbbell (when lifting the left) makes a vein on my wrist hurt somehow. I think I wasn't paying attention to wrist form when doing overhead press, maybe letting my wrists looser on the last reps. Has this happened to anyone else?
    Anyway, thanks for the tips Aaron, you are the man!💕💪

    Hey, doc. I get this pain in the pushup position and with front squats. I've tried the tension band approach (after seeing you do it in a previous video for ankles) but couldn't really tell if it was helping. I'll work with the towel though for presses and see how that goes slowly working it. How would i do similar but for front squats (or is this good enough for that as well)? Do you do these as part of your warmup when planning presses or front squats or do you do these mobility drills on days in between the days you're planning in presses or front squats? Thank you!

    I have slight wrist pain in my left wrist after doing power snatches. Obviously I will take small break from power snatches and also reduce the load once I start up as my wrist is healing and I will apply the advice given in this video, but would you say wrist flexion/mobility work is a good supplement to work on as well? Thanks and merry christmas from Denmark❤🇩🇰

    You kept pointing to the inside of the wrist but I have pain right on the top middle of the wrist on both wrists. It’s been bad for so long that I’ve lost wrist extension and can’t bend my wrist far enough to do push-ups. I think it’s from heavy bench pressing and overhead press. Using the band or my hand pressing on the top of my wrist and trying to bend it both hurt really bad so I can’t do that. Any other suggestions to fix that?

    Hi Aaron, I'm hypermobile and my mobility is too much in ways it shouldn't be. Is it safe for me to try because this all just looks extremely painfull to me. I've gotten 'help' over the last 4 years. I think I might have hEDS. I am always adviced to just to neutral wrist exercises but I'd like to do different ones, I feel weak and my body feels like it's not mine. It sucks to be told by everyone I should be happy with what I can do now. I know this is going to get worse if I don't train my body the way it needs to be trained. But I don't understand my body, I think you could help but I'm all the way in the Netherlands and I could never afford you anyway. But I was hoping you could give me some small advice...

    Hey I watched your video,got into the pushup position, and attempted to bare my body weight. I felt alot of pain in tendon that's parallel with the point finger. Also felt a almost "popping" sensation as if it's grinding against something while getting into extension. Anyway, I don't know what is wrong with the damn thing.

      As ligaments of wrists are a little to loose
      Make sure that you are using the correct weight and the distance of griping
      You should take care of your wrist alignment in slightly extended position and try stop too much pressure on your wrist
