I go relatively heavy on them (fail on 6-8 reps) because my grip strength affects my bench press, however i have started to feel some moderate pain on my left wrist (joint), it happens when i try to squeeze something. Is this normal? Also are there any other exercises that possibly don’t use the wrist joint as much?
Sounds fair, I’m sure people have already said it, but in the off chance they haven’t, the Alan thrall and starting strength videos are great for helping get started. An experienced trainer is worth their weight in gold for getting it right though.
