Sore Wrist Fix! (Handstands & Calisthenics)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Injuries are part of any practice. Of course we want to minimise our risk but sometimes sh*T happens. Realising issues, managing them and continuing to do the work is key 💪

[@Talibeilm-a]

Completely agree. I have ton of injuries but I have learned how to not aggrevate those and train safely and enjoyably.

[@edbleong]

Wow just when my wrists were feeling sore from doing handstands today. Thanks Tom!

[@laurenshaver9465]

Thank you!! I've just started training handstands really hard about 2 weeks ago, and while my progress has been amazing and I can almost hold, my wrists have just begun hurting! Hoping to alleviate this early and keep the fast progress! You're videos have been a staple

[@robertheitmann8821]

Last year when I learned my handstand at some point I got a huge spike in progress and it made me want train more so I trained every day and after 2 weeks or so I was able to reliably do my handstand but had wrist paint so bad I couldn't really lean on my hands. Had to take off a month and slowly start again on blocks and later Paraletts. Long story short it's not worth to overtrain even tho u see good progress, if u have to take a long time off afterwards

[@chrisplayz253]

Good comment with sound advice

[@shawncollins5127]

Literally was me woth handstands and the hspu aspect. Lateral wrist issues. Finally doing handstands again pain free. Down to only doing 2 or 3x a week.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

100% glad to hear you are back to full health

[@liam10071]

Same for me. When I first started I neglected a lot. Had to take a 1 month break and 3 month break. After 2 wrist injuries the only way I can do handstands is with paralettes, but I'm now pretty good on them

[@Joyboy.753]

Same happened to me, the day i achieved my handstand (not just a lucky one but getting everytime) after 1 year 3 months of training, the very next day i had so intense pain my wrists. I took rest for 2-3 days, ate a lot of protein and started slowly again giving a large priority to warm up.

[@John.McIntyre]

production quality is looking great Tom 👍

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Thanks John

[@COACHCHAPLET]

Not sure where you get your inspiration from making this workout, what ever you are doing-keep it up because it helps me on my channel and myself too.

[@magidimitrova7198]

Great video Tom!! Keep them up they are so helpful ☺️

[@itloggirl122]

The pan into your intro though 😲 Thanks for these. I was recently thinking of trying this again and hopefully being able to do it finally.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Good luck

[@thesupplestrength]

What do you think about using wrist support straps?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

If it feels good but I don’t think they do much

[@EvolveNowYoga]

When doing Yoga the wrists are usually the first weak link that appear! A lot of people go from never putting weight on their hands to trying handstands immediately! It's so important to warm up the wirsts and to condition them progressively💪

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Exactly 👌

[@pascha-j]

Exactly the video I am needing right now. Thank you!

[@60SecondCalisthenics]

Awesome calisthenics tips!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The dog is waiting for him to get upside down 🤣

[@BodyweightWarrior]

She knows 😂

[@lmack6596]

I come for your sound advice, and stay for your gorgeous dog! :)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

She’s the star

[@jacoblangdance]

Omg I love your dog!

[@damirapevec6203]

Nice explanation, nice performing, nice dog...

[@josephmontoya25]

Great video and info Tom, I often turn to using my parallettes when doing a handstand, because of wrist pain. I thought maybe it might help if I start do some wrist strengthening exercises and maybe practice the positioning of my hands when doing a hand stand.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

The goal shouldn’t be avoiding long term but building towards that return to sport. Scale it so you can still do handstands and then work on loading the wrists from there 💪

[@78hfdl]

i have a ganglion cyst , its very important.

[@paulfischer9722]

thx for this video, just at the right time! I injured my wrist a couple months ago and fell in the cycle you mentioned. should I continue to practice slightly even if i still have a sore wrist ?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

There is a difference between overuse and impact/trauma exercises. Worth easing back into things

[@vivinpan]

Hello _ just hangin here chompin at the bit!!!!! You mentioned a video link for the wrists?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Sorted 💪

[@vivinpan]

@@BodyweightWarrior You are truly amazing! I Thank you on all your followers' behalf I'm sure !

[@vivinpan]

@@BodyweightWarrior Many, Many THANKS! You are the best!

[@MiraMate]

thank you!

[@kerryholland4822]

My wrists in a floor handstand is fine but I’m just starting parallettes ans I realise things I can normally do on the floor (push up type things) I’m struggling in parallettes because the wrist and hand are rotating outwards instead of pointing forwards and it seems I don’t have the strength and range. I guess the wrist rocks at the end are what I need to practice to improve the range?

[@AlexanderBaron89]

The secret is there is no secret, thank you for sharing

[@shahrozali2142]

Is this watch casio mtp voo5L-1b

[@RaoulSamDaruwala]

That's a sweet little dog.

[@paulfischer9722]

do you recommand to still practice a bit if you still have a pain or to totally stop until no pain and then start again at low frequency?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Some pain during is ok but there shouldn’t be any after the session. The general trend of the injury should also be getting better, that’s the key metric

[@paulemilejuniorcilien2601]

perfect timing mate, thanks a lot!

[@filippomedici364]

Can I ask what's your watch?

[@yifankach]

@Tom Yes please

[@vintagedigital108]

And the strap as well keeping your wrist flexible during handstand.

[@nrcpn]

Not an injury but I got a ganglion cyst on my wrist (probably from handstands work) ..do you know if this is a common thing?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Yeah it is and among gymnasts. Worth checking with a doctor for this

[@blackisblack22]

On behalf of my sore wrists, thank you.

[@DejiDigital]

You didn't link the shoulder opening

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Thanks man, all sorted now

[@wooopy111222333]

Sounds stupid, but what is the name of your pants @Tom, they look incredibly comfy?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

These are from Lululemon, not sure what ones sorry

[@Luna-nb7zx]

tried to use parellettes but i found that my wrists hurt more when doing calistenics on parellettes than on the floor

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Different muscles involved. Try blocks or more supported loading positions to build it up

[@Luna-nb7zx]

@@BodyweightWarrior thanks for the tips! i'll try them out in my next session

[@joni2380]

The trybe handstand programs could really use some extra wrist work

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Agreed. It’s getting a refresh soon

[@joni2380]

@@BodyweightWarrior I figured, I've been sneaking in some wrist warm ups from elsewhere in the meantime 😁

"Why is there something rather than nothing". Many earlier thinkers had asked why our universe is the way it is, but Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz went a step further, wondering why there is a universe at all. The question is a challenging one because it seems perfectly possible that there might have been nothing whatsoever - no Earth, no stars, no galaxies, no universe. Leibniz even thought that nothing would have been “simpler and easier”. If nothing whatsoever had existed then no explanation would have been needed
