Hello team,
I've become very capable with pull-ups, chin-ups, and push-ups over the last couple years.
However:
I have to do all my push-ups with the "perfect push-up" handles, because my wrists... they must be weak or something. If I do them with palms flat, eventually sharp pain begins inside the carpals. I stretch and warm them up, and I'm sure it's healthy, but it only aggravates the pain.
I'm learning from the 1-arm pull-up practice I'm doing that ligaments must be strengthened, and I'm making quick progress in the epicondyles (where the ligaments attach to the bone near the elbows, if I'm not mistakes) near my elbows, which ached after my first two days of practicing the 1-arms. Just a few weeks later, and they don't ache at all.
Do any of you guys have any advice for me with the wrists? I'm 32 and even though I'm a full-time firearms instructor, 90% of my work still ends up being at a desk behind a screen. I would really appreciate any wisdom you could offer on how to strengthen up my wrists (if it's even possible?), or if any of you have experienced this...
Thank you, friends.
