Hurt wrist

yaffy Posts: 5 Joined: 2001/01/13	2001/01/14, 07:50 PM While doing preacher curl last year i hurt my wrist when i hit it. Ever since then it hurts when I do a straight bar curl or sometimes with the preacher bar. I was wondering if I could do anything to substitute that exercise?

This will eliminate most of the stress off your wrists. Keeping your thumbs on the outside of the bar will help you do this. As for recovery, take it easy on your writsts, stretch them often. If you think it may be serious, see a doctor about it, or a sports injury therapist.

Then I found that trying to get your wrist a bit stronger helps at the end. But i also started to do less strenuous movements with my wrist for a while. The problem is that i hurt my wrist one year and a half ago and it still hurts when it goes in an awkward position. If this helped great but sorry if it didn't
