[Final Prophecy]

Okay so how do I make my wrists stronger? And I mean every part, the muscles, bones, and tendons

So basically, I just type this over and over and my wrists will be able to crush an elephants skull?! Sweet! :]


Also, I hear tell that these things work wonders (despite the gay name), though I haven't really tried it out myself. http://www.powerballs.com/

Elephant skull crushing abilities? I'm sorry, what you should do is read through the Bruce Lee was Gay thread.

I have one of them. What can I say? I used it for a week and don't anymore tbh. It probably does help your wrists, except:
a) It takes AGES
b) It's louder than standing next to a Harrier taking off next to you. And it sounds worse too. :(

Use a gripper, it will inevitably strengthen your wrist. But I reckon the best would perhaps be to practice handstands? Anything that works your forearms will help strengthen the wrist.

Haha thats exactly why I'm asking for help. When I hold my handstand in one place and stabalize it (without walking around) my wrists (especially my right wrist: the one I dont masturbate with) start to really start hurting. And its not that "sore" feeling which denotes strength gain, its just like a strain feeling.

[ry-guy]

take low weight, sit at the edge of a bench and curl them with you wrists.

[Final Prophecy]

Oh yeah preacher curls. I guess I could try that with my sister's dumbells, thanks.

Also I'll try Ivan's links as well, thank you!

[Honken]

Your sister has a pair of dumbells, but you don't? Gyro's don't really work your wrist strength until you've mastered them to the point where you can controll it at higher speeds. It's more technique than power. I mean, some of the people on the 100 list are in their early teens.

It gets harder the faster you go, but still. I'd say it's more endurance than strength seeing that you have to spin it quite alot before things that to happen. And yes, it sounds like a fucking vacuum cleaner.

does that mean things like farmer walks will help them?
like just holding heavy weights until failure?

You masturbate with your left hand? Thats awesome!

[Rahf]

Left-handers masturbate with the left hand, I do the same.

[Kimimaro]

lol...That's funny, because I actually am Left handed. Though with every other activity I ussually do everything with my right hand.

[Karlnold]

"do deadlifts"

[Wesker]

Wrist push ups

[Skippy]

They're like, the god of wrist strengthening equipments

They can be picked up fairly cheaply from pretty much any body building or fitness store

[Ashtar]

When you exert force, the muscles exert it, through the tendons, which attach to the bones. So they all get strengthened. There might be some differences in the emphasis I guess, like say between doing a pressing exercise or doing a levering exercise (military press versus triceps kickback for example) but probably not major.

One key can be timing, something about bones/tendons adapting slower than muscles, especially for people with high hormones (steroids or whatever). I think diet can have something to do with it, you could be idealizing your diet for muscle gain, but possibly deficient in something you need to keep bones/tendons/ligaments healthy.

Powerballs are cool, they're on my list of things to remember to buy, sort of skill-based but if you can beat the champion's record, you're on your way.

Unlike winning a contest though, you'd want to train both hands equally, and through rotating both directions, not whichever gives you the higher number. It doesn't really matter if it's more endurance-based, endurance is good too, and when you can sustain it with good technique it gets harder, perfect sort of progression.

While doing something like this you could wear a wrist weight or a weighted vest while doing it. Obviously it does nothing to the gyro, but if you're going to be standing around moving nothing but your wrist, may as well get some static strength in.
