Wrists

Zipsfb Posts: 11 Joined: 2005/03/07	2005/10/16, 07:20 PM Hey! I have been training hard for about 9 months now doing basically cardio, pull-ups and dips. My wrists pop everytime I extend them and am curious as to treatment. They very rarely hurt, unless I just got done with my dips in my routine. I am curious if you think I should cut dips (which I hate to do since they are a huge part of my routine) or if there is any treatment. I type a lot and am thinking the combination of dips and typing on a laptop could be causing all of this. Thanks for the advice!

Dips are one of the most effective upper body exercises you can do. Naturally, anything worth doing is not going to be easy. As for treatment, I would start incorporating some direct wrist work into your routine. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.

I'm up to about 38 good formed dips in a row now, but usually work 3 sets of 20. I'll give the wrist excercises a whirl, I think my wrists are prone to damage because I used to powerlift. We'll see. Thanks again.
