Hi guys, I struggle with things like push-ups, weight lifting and using my TRX because my wrists seem to be really weak (especially when it comes to push-ups and my TRX).

Is there anything I can do to strengthen them so that it doesn't continue to hamper my workouts or should I just chalk it up to needing to lose more body weight in order to handle my body weight on my wrists? (I'm 210 lbs btw)

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.

    i had this tab on my browser but i haven't really had time to look into it so i'm not sure if it's actually any good.. It is for handstands but the mobility exercises might be useful for you :)

    Yeah I get wrist issues as well. I just use gloves with wrist support, if it gets to bad. Some days I need them others I'm fine without

    Try some reverse curls, wrist curls, and reverse wrist curls. You can also get a good set of grippers if you'd like (e.g. Captains of Crush).

    This is all good to build bigger and stronger forearms which does help a lot, but wrists are just bone and cartilage. Also stretch your wrists really good before you do any type of workout.
