How to Eliminate Push-up Wrist Pain

[@johnsmith-jg2xz]

I fixed my wrist pain with one of your old videos on how to do push ups with no wrist pain. After that I trust this channel %100. Also thank you for the videos!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Glad to hear John! Keep on push'n man!

[@araboooeee]

john smith great man. Would you share with us how you overcome your wrist pain exactly . Thanks

[@johnsmith-jg2xz]

Naeem Fekri I used to feel pain in my wrists every time I do push-ups cause I would let my hands be all relaxed and let my fingers spread. After watching one of his videos where he talked about keeping everything tight, bringing your fingers together and contracting everything. I tried it and did a couple of push ups... and I didn’t feel any pain then I realized that my technique was the reason I was feeling pain.

[@araboooeee]

john smith thank Man 👍🏼

[@johnsmith-jg2xz]

No problem man.

[@asultani123]

"...The real issue at hand" I see what you did there.

[@thebravedave]

Dude, that's pure magic. It helped me pretty instantly. I've been strugling in maxing my reps cause of my right wrist. Now push ups are super nice and painless. Big thanks and God bless! 💪🏼🙏🏼

[@RedDeltaProject]

Fantastic! Nothing helps you get stronger like achieving better alignment and reducing paiin. Well done!

[@varunalur3988]

Hey matt this tip has completely changed my push ups, the tension control makes all the difference. My hands would slip away while doing push ups, but that is because I did not tense the forearms and hands properly. Now it doesn't happen any more and there is no wrist pain too. Thanks so much matt, keep doing you.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Fantastic Varun! Stoked to hear this, happy pushing my friend!

[@kdubs711]

I've had wrist pain for a year now doing push ups. It kept my reps and motivation down. Thank you!!! This helped alot

[@actualartificer223]

I don’t know where this video has been all my life but I thank you. My biggest issue with push-ups has been the amount of pain that I get while doing them and this worked like a charm.

[@j_1934]

I instantly got relief from worst pain....very informative video sir!!!

[@ASkilledTactician]

Bro this worked. I’ve been having wrist pain for about 5 years now. Ive been using the perfect push ups in order to do push ups. Thanks this helped me out tremendously.

[@kathyjohanson3545]

I have BAD arthritis in the thumbs- in desperation, I started searching for UTube videos to help with the pain. This was the first one I watched, and it was a game changer!!! By using your technique the pain was eliminated while moving my wrists!!!😄 I just need to find exercises to build up the surrounding muscles, and I think I can keep from having surgery for a while. THANK YOU!!!! You've done more for me in a couple minutes, than a physical therapist couldn't, after a couple of months!

[@acealex9644]

I just tried tensing my hands + forearm and my wrist didn't hurt! That is crazy thanks for the tips and knowledge, I'm definitely gunna check out your wrist warm up video too.

[@timyong6152]

Its amazing how these small details completely changes the whole training experience despite doing the same routine for years! The way you explained how pressure flows past the joints through muscle tension is spot on game changer!!been a sub for a few years now but how did i miss this video until now.. big thanks anyways! Awesome content as always!

Thank you very much Tim!

[@connor4702]

Fixed it! I had a workout about 2 hours ago. Just chin ups and dips and my left wrist and bones in my hand were on fire doing dips. I just took your advice and dropped down to a set of push ups, absolutely pain free. Great advice 👍

Doing this before every workout that puts weight on the wrists (so basically every one) for a few weeks now and damn dude, while the pain of course isn't gone yet I haven't felt this little of it during pushups since before a wrist injury from six years ago.

[@symposes]

Thank you for all the wonderful advice. Are you planning to address knee pain during lunges/squats?

[@symposes]

@@JD-dm2qo Ive had knee pain 2 different ways with my squats myself. the first time, it was fixed by doing the warmup that Matt posted a while back, that IIRC was ment to help you achieve deeper squats. the second time was fixed by stretching my thighs before the squats, as the pain only seemed to come up with wide squats and not narrow squats. So I absolutely get it might be something that was covered with this last video with the 4 tips about joint pain.

How has your upper body responded to doing 100 pushups a day. Particularly your pecs? I have thought about switching my workouts to doing that but haven't got up the nerve yet. Do you do any other exercises? I hope to hear your reply. Thanks

[@rogerastwood3500]

development is slow but sure. My pecs have definitely grown. I have started doing handstand push ups, one arm push ups. its like I have more strength in my arms and at my core.

Your video helped me so much in my planche training. By the way can i do different pullups with different grips to train different body parts in a single workout. Please reply.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Happy to be of help, Different grips change the subtle flavor and tension of the pull-up but for the most part it's the same move and the same general muscle groups.

can this also help when doing planks?

No need to give up there Jake, you may be closer to a breakthrough than you think. When in doubt, get it checked out if you can . All of the advice on the internet can't come close to spending 5 minutes with someone who can give you hands-on assessment of what's going on

[@Xighor]

What about getting push up bars? Fir me it's more of a backpain

[@RedDeltaProject]

That may be a very different issue, possibly due to scapular elevation during the push-ups where you're hunching up your shoulders.

[@gamingskull1499]

God bless you bro

[@xCorvus7x]

Hey Matt, I don't recall where but once you have recommended isometric flexions (with a curled fist) and extensions (with fully extended fingers) of your wrist for wrist strength and to work your forearm and increase ROM. How does the degree to which you twist your forearm play into that? I. e. the orientation of the wrist to the elbow? I find that (with my elbow facing forward) flexing my wrist while my forearm is rotated outwards is harder than when my forearm is rotated inwards. With extension it's similar and there I feel the stretch of my wrist flexors more with an outward rotated forearm. To me it almost seems as if there are four parts to this exercise, not just two. Any thoughts?

Those dislikes are from his local physiotherapists.

Unless you have an injury in the wrist you probably have something out of alignment with your technique. Best to have someone check your form in person to see if there's anything a little off.

[@kenyamatsuo9182]

I feel I’m not able to put my weight towards the inner part of my palm, I believe your older videos explains it. Proper weight distribution to my hands seems to my main problem. The pain is signaling me that I’m not doing something right.😰

[@RedDeltaProject]

I would check to see if your back tension is holding your shoulders down and back enough to keep your palm flat on the floor. Also try bringing your hands an inch or two apart and see if that helps.

I've been getting wrist pain since I started knuckle pushups about 6 weeks ago. I want to keep with them because the workout is so much harder on my pecs and shoulders, but not sure it's sustainable any more. Can muscle tensing help with knuckle pushups too, or should I give up on them and just go back to regular pushups?

[@RedDeltaProject]

You can do either, but I would bet the intensity has little to doing them on your knuckles and more with having a slight external rotation in your shoulders which often happens with a "vertical" or neutral grip which is just what you usually do with knuckle push-ups. So try doing them on your hands, but do the push-ups like you're trying to touch your elbows behind your back or rubbing your forearms on the sides of your ribs as you do them.

[@Adrrn]

Good information. Any vids on an injured wrist ? I'll check around the channel.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Depends on the injury but in general: - let pain by your guide and don't do things that hurt - Use less resistance and range of motion if necessary and build up slowly over time

[@Ed-tc2pg]

Don't ignore injury, you don't wan't to have to wrap your wrist for the rest of your life for a preventable chronic injury.

[@jameswoods6385]

Have IT band pain while doing squats. Wanted to know if you knew any tips to help prevent this

[@RedDeltaProject]

In many ways, the IT band is a bit of a joint issue since it's a long band of connective tissue and lot of joint pain is from irritation of the connective tissue surrounding the joint. Look to maintaining tension in the glutes and hamstrings (esp the inner thigh hamstrings) and work to strengthen and mobilize the outter hip. Try practicing this move each day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2PclqqhjrxoaqM
