Wrist
Supports & Injury
Wrist Supports:
A Wise Investment.
Wrist supports may not seem like much,
just something you strap on for style, but these little
dandies are a wise investment for weight trainers of
all types, particularly those with mountain-sized intentions
ahead of them.
It's something you almost never think
of. Until it falls on your face.
You pace around like a hungry tiger
for three minutes, preparing for your intense brush
with those 110-pound dumbbells. You're not thinking
about the pain or the sweat or the veins bulging in
your temples and you're surely not thinking about a
thing called safety. No, you're not thinking about anything
at this moment other than extending those beefy arms,
and those clunky weights, straight toward the sky.
As the struggle begins, your arms
start to tremble vibrantly from the resistance, as your
elbows shake and your muscles twitch. Your forearms
begin to arc above you like a rainbow, you've almost
completed your mission when, Ka-plank!
The 110-pound dumbbell becomes a permanent
part of your face.
It's not exactly the ending you were
looking for, but as the surgeon removes scraps of iron
from your skull, you know you're gonna be hearing the
lecture one more time:
You should have been wearing wrist
supports. Worst part of it, you know, is that it wasn't
so much your pectoral muscles or your heart that gave
in to the 220-pound nemeses. It was your wrists. While
your chest was certainly game for cranking out a challenging
set of incline dumbbell presses, your wrists just couldn't
hang with the big boys.
Instead, these delicate joints allowed
the mission, and the weights, to come crashing down
upon you. Hopefully, the next time you'll know better.
Wrist Support
Wrist supports are great for a number
of different exercises, particularly pulldowns, dumbbell
presses, knee raises, and pull-ups.
The purpose of wrist supports, obviously,
is to stabilize the wrists during the strenuous exercises,
and preventing them from giving in to overwhelming resistance,
how are your muscles going to handle the weights when
your wrists can't?
Also, wrist supports help you to
focus the resistance primarily on the muscles being
worked. You won't be diverting any of the resistance
elsewhere.
