I'd get some good wraps or athletic tape and see if that helps, do some forearm curls and stuff to help strengthen them, or just lighten the weight. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

What's probably causing it is that your wrist can get a little inflamed from lifting heavy weights, which can move stuff around in there. I would recommend trying a wrist brace or tape when you do those exercises...perhaps try a little ibuprofen or something before your workout and see if that helps. Also - you might want to ice it to help any swelling go down. Mind you I'm not a doctor...just VERY injury prone :) Very. Doing some curls should also help, also stretch your wrists after/during workouts. -------------- ~~~~~~~ROXIE~~~~~~~ http://www.mycoffeegirl.com
