punching wi left arm - weak wrist

Kalanchoe Posts: 400 Joined: 2003/02/18	2005/09/28, 09:39 AM How can I strengthen my left arm (im right handed), spefically with a view to punching, hopefully with as much power as my right? Using punch bags hurts my left wrist. -------------- each to their own

Also make sure you are hitting with the index and middle finger knuckles. good luck.

Do your wrist curls both ways, suppinated and pronated, supersetting is a good tactic. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I also noticed that suicide grip on bench press also significantly strengthened my wrists...it's a way of living dangerously...but with a spotter...it can be useful...

If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.
