Thank you. I stopped doing push-ups or anything. I stopped working out because my wrists hurt like hell I'll be doing these exercises to see if I could start working out again thank you
Any update ? My right wrist hurts like crazy for 2 years now . I went to a doctor and he told me that I don't have anything to worry about but I can't do push-ups because of this. It feels like I am going to break my bone .
Thank you so much! Was really frustrated for a long time because my weak wrists weren't keeping up with the rest of my body's strength. Thank you for the tips! A heads up about the progressive wrist loading section of the video: I couldn't really see your legs because of the black pants against a black background.
I just wish to leave this comment. Just to say thank you. As this video helped me a great deal in rebuilding my wrist strength. After I broke my wrist and needed a operation to correct it. And for myself to return to work in construction. So thank you very much. Your video was a great help.
Thanks for helpful information. I guess my problem wasn't that bad. It got better after 1 week of just doing some push ups. I felt lazy to progress slowly, so I just started doing some regular push-ups. I found that when my wrist started to hurt my fingers were kinda all over the place. I started pushing my fingers to the ground and that alleviated my pain. I would definitely come back to this video when my pain gets worse. Thank you for creating great informative content.
Almost feel like having a very good understanding of the human body and how it works is a superpower. So many little things that no one would have guessed that could have been an easy fix. Like this video. Beyond helpful friends. My pushups have improved a lot and when I go for the big sets, it’s my wrist that “give” out before anything else does. This is going to be super helpful. Without this vid, who knows what I’d try to do. Anyways, thanks. This is super meaningful and very valuable.
@@fatihhoxha Appreciate it! Does feel better! I'll look into it for sure I've started incoperating rice bucket exercises aswell for the wrist, it does wonders!
I'm sorry to hear! Unfortunately, I haven't found a solid solution to this yet, other than to avoid push-ups and resort to alternative, lighter exercises. I overdid the rice bucket + used fist pushups, which felt good initially but made it worse, (- Your experience may vary) I completely stopped exercising after that for a while because I was scared that it would make it worse. I recently started going to physio and doing resistance band exercises which is helping a lot, but yeah, it's been a rough ride for me. I'd say take it slow and don't rush the process. I did do an MRI for one of the wrist - it had a minor partial TFCC tear and tiny cyst. I have a feeling it might be the cyst causing the problem, but I haven't consulted an expert doctor yet. Another thing to note is I work on a computer a lot, which wasn't helping
Thank you for the tips. 23 years ago I broke a bone in my left hand, that was when I was at the beginning of university. I have skipped it and never went to doctor. Now I need to excercise because of sitting job that kills me. And I can't do pushups because of wrist pain. For the beginning I'm going to exercise with towels. I need them relatively high, to allow my hand to be at wider angle than straight angle. And I still feel the pain, but it's much less painful. Thanks!
I have weak wrists and have been knuckling the pushups the last 10 years, its indeed the easiest way as it requires no extra equipment. After you done it for a while (weeks/months) you can also do it on harder surfaces with added weight on the back without too much knuckle pain.
I have been using the Perfect pushup for over a year now and I have no more wrist problems.It really relieves the... wrists, elbows and shoulders. In addition, these grips allow you to work your pectoral muscles more intensely because the range of movement is greater. It's really not a gadget. (A frenchman who has nothing to sell...)
Thank you sooooooo much.... 💝 I was suffering from TFCC ( HAND LIGAMENT INJURY) problem, so I couldn't workout for six months, but after watching your video, I can exercise now. I request to you, please make a video... so that I can pull-up while having this problem.
I am a powerbuilder, so I bench press a lot and haven't done push-ups in a while. I didn't have gym access for a weekend so I did a bunch of bodyweight exercises and normal push ups on the hard ground made my right wrist hurt so badly I haven't been able to hit anything upper body for the last 3 days but I will be ready to go tomorrow. Thank you for these variations I will try these next time I need to do push ups
@@ep6713 It mostly healed on its own over 2 months and I was finally able to hit a new max on bench 2 months after it first happened. Thanks for reminding me about these exercises, I still get a little pain from time to time going heavy but it's not stopping me from getting stronger anymore
I have wrist pain for about 6 months now on the right hand, Only hurts when in a push up position i.e putting weight on it at a degree bend. i do a lot of water sports and was sure i just hurt it a little, but it hasn't got any better with rest. I went snowboarding yesterday and done a few push up stand ups from sitting on the snow and my wrist felt it after the day with some pain and stiffness even manage to crack the wrist when i got home which felt like a relief tbh, Gotta book in the Doc as i suspect something more be hide this pain/discomfort.
After 2 months of knuckle push-ups (200/day), after 5,000 push-ups the discoloration started to really take hold and my knuckles were almost black. No pain but my skin color completely changed from the irritation. I tried yoga mat and even tried boxing gloves. I had to stop because nothing would fix the discoloration
really nice vidéo i was doing a lot of push up in 2018 and i really liked it but at some points really painful and not fun, now i will try those trick and im 100% sure already that one of those will be good for me thank you soo much
My left wrist gives me issues every once in a while for years. I was making huge gains on my arms with just pushups and was so upset when I had to stop because my wrist was hurting way too much. I don't want to lose all the progress I made but don't have money for gym membership to use their machines which would enable me to avoid the wrists but keep building up my arms
Nice & informative video. I usually end up in pain after a few push-ups. Will definitely try out the modifications & the exercises. Could you cover "Knee (patellar) bursitis" in the future?
Thank you sir I'm really sick of my wrist pain for over year Whenever I try to do somthing hard or heavy my right wrist gone berserk and my daily push-ups counts down 100 to 20 But after few weeks of this exercises I'm getting better
Great video! I had a ganglion cyst surgically removed on my left wrist 3 years ago and I still have wrist pain and limited range of motion that makes planks and push ups very difficult. I watched this video 3 days ago and started doing the rocking forward, sideways and backwards movements to help increase my range. So far so good. My only question is, my wrist kind of hurts more since starting this. Is this normal? Should I continue? The movements feel good while doing it, I’m going slow with it and not pushing too far past my limit, I just want to make sure I’m not damaging my wrist more than I’m helping it. Thanks so much!!
I know this is old. I injured my wrist awhile back, 1 years, and yes this is normal while doing the flexion exercises. It mean you are stretching the muscles or tendon around the wrist. It continues to hurt, my advise is continue and stay persistent and consistently. Reason I said this because I was like you. Quit one day and jump back next week, I could barely stand the pain. After doing it consistently, it became better, pain still there but lesson over time because as with time goes by I progress to a better flexibility. Hope you get better by now, if not stay consistent. Like they said, "mind over matter."
I did keep up with the exercises from your video and honestly you changed my life! I continue to do these exercises at least 3 times a week because it helps so much. I finally have, not 100%, but like 90% of my range and strength back. I can use my left hand/wrist again! I really appreciate you providing this advice and helping me get back to normal! Thank you!
@@DSPNWtoCali i got a question should i do them like 3 days straight than rest or monday than Wednesday than friday for like a day rest in between or it doesn’t really matter because i have the same issue where my wrist hurts like crazy after doing the stretches. also i would like to know if theres some way to contact you to keep up with my progress.
Yea I basically have up trying to do push ups because it felt like my wrists would break just from my weight dumbells helped but I still felt like I'd mess up my wrists so I'm definitely going to try the other methods
If by any chance you did the exercises in the video and it didn't fix the pain check if you had a hyper extenxion at the elbow that was my problem and after i fixed my elbow my pain went away.
Having torn wrist TFCC over 2 years ago, it’s never fully recovered and still limits me today. This video has been helpful. Thanks. Why do such injuries never recover ? 😫 I’ve taken plenty of time off and done rehab exercises. Should’ve broken a bone instead. :(
Back In 2008 I Had Got Into A Fight With Two Good Friends And Had Landed In The Street In The Pushup Position And Snapped Both Of My Wrists So Ever Since Doing Pushups Comfortably Has Been A Issue For Me But The Main Issue That I Have With Doing Pushups Is That I Hold My Breath While Going Up And Down And Not Exhaling And Inhaling While Doing My Pushups.
People kept telling me that wrist pushups take the strain off the wrists, but ever since I started them 5-6 weeks ago, my wrists are hurting more and more after doing them. I want to keep doing them because the pecs are worked so much harder, but it's not working out well for my wrists. Am I doing something wrong?
I had "Ganglion" in one of my wrist. It gone after I took proper medications, but whenever I start doing pushups, the spot where I had Ganglion cyst start to pain, and it pains for a couple of days...
Doing recommended exercises for 40 days, but no meaningful results yet. Did this video actually help anyone? I see many thanks but did not find any feedback.
What if your pain is likely ECU tendon subluxation. This is the top theory after a few years of battling wrist pain. Do you have any experience with this problem? or non surgical solutions?
I had 3 years of pain and 3 doctors told me it was carpal tunnel. I knew it wasn't that it had t be an alignment issue. I had a PT traction my shoulder and wrist and the next morning I woke up with zero pain. Look for the source... weakness, poor mobility, kinetic chain issues. I had multiple issues going on. I'd try to heal at the root cause so you don't do more harm.
Pause on the towel pic! 2:20 You can see how wrong he is about using anything that’s a cushion, towels included! The top plain of his hand is in its best position flat on the floor, once the towel is used it’s bending up more.. the only angle which is good is his forearms. Cushions will push your knuckles up guys!

Actually, doing push-ups with closed fits is better than regular ones with flat hands. More activation in hand, wrist and lower arm
can this help carpal tunnel syndrome
So has this actually helped anyone?
