I have attached a photo of what I use to preserve my wrists.
Did you forget the photo? :P
I got an error message. Most likely user error!!
Just to be clear, they come in pairs and these are made from wood. I added the black padded tube for comfort. The idea is that your hand and wrist is positioned with less stress compared with the 90 degree bend. I also use them for push which has the added benefit of a greater range of motion.

Thank you for the pic and insights. I'll look into this!
@lazycat2018 Awesome. Thanks for the explanation. For me, will be an interesting. I have jumped into 3 october challenges in addition to a recurring 10 day challenge. Hopefully all that is constructive and not defeatist. Time will tell!

Gaz, very nice. I think I have seen people even use hexagonal dumbbells instead. Might give that a try and if I like, I think your wooden supports look more comfortable. Thank you

You are very welcome! Wish you luck in your challenges
after 2 first months of my participation in this thread I felt the need to bend my body in a different direction, so I added glute bridges.
Excellent idea! I'll join you on this. Also working on wall sits again, cause thighs are just as important to me as abs 😁 (the latter I never show anyhow 😎).
I'll count all isometric excersises. Hope this doesnt mean I'm hijacking your thread, @jeffrey_ad 🤦♀️

Oct 3: 6:00 wall sit, 4:00 planks, 5:00 glute bridges (hope I did them right, they seemed easy, but 5min were enough 😁)
@SModa61 Thanks for the update on the apparatus! For today's one measly 25 second plank, I used my hex DBs (I already had weight gloves on because I was doing a KB workout just beforehand). I think that had been mentioned as an alternative option to try earlier in this thread.
It felt weird but not as weird as friction burn on one's elbows lol So I'll keep on with my DBs for this purpose this month. As for today...

They are easy, but still provide some stretch

Googled wall sits, did one last night. All right, I'll include these in my routine ☺
