Anyone have wrist guard recommendations for weightlifting? I have small wrists and they don’t love a lot of pressure.

What sort of lift ? Any sort of lifting aid [belts, straps, wrist wraps, knee wraps, etc] should only be used on the heaviest of lifts for a particular movement. if you use them for every lift, you’ll never address your weaknesses. e.g - you need to build strength in your wrists.

I used to use Reebok wraps, which are fine, if you need a recommendation.

Given your comments here, would recommend no wraps for those accessory lifts and do focus a lot more on hand and wrist strengthening.

As weird as it sounds, go check out arm wrestling forums for the best hand and wrist exercises. Arm wrestlers have the strongest lower arms in the world.

OP, best advice is to work on wrist mobility and strength, lots of techniques out there to work on both. I've done Olympic lifting and general weightlifting over the years. Every coach I've worked with 1:1 recommends not using wraps, sleeves, braces, grips, etc. unless you're throwing down serious weight at very low volume. Most folks use these tools to mask pain, power through poor mobility / technique, etc. Doing so just puts you at greater risk for a serious injury down the road.

I'd be really careful. You may have early stage carpal tunnel. You may want to focus on small, light weight to strengthen your finger/wrist/ forearm. As those muscles get stronger it will naturally help with the other exercises.

I use therapy putty, grip strength exercisers, and carry small weight plates by the edges. My job requires me to lift up to 75 lbs (I'm female) so I have to work at it.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
