not your forearm, not trying argue just pointing it out. yea you work grip strength with pull ups but that only works extensor muscles not flexor or the forearm

11 Jan 05:50

yeah you dont use your arm muscles in either of those exercises youre right

11 Jan 05:49

pull ups work mostly the back and push ups work the chest and tricep. hes talking about wrists

11 Jan 05:48

pushing and pulling exercises

11 Jan 05:47

yeah do actual exercises like push ups and pull ups

11 Jan 05:46

wrap a rubber band around the outside of your fingers and open them up

11 Jan 05:45

you should work both sides of the forearm not just the flexors. the muscles that open your hand are just as important. if all you do is use a squeezy ball youll end up with strong flexors and your extensors will be atrophied

only on the right fist

11 Jan 05:42

I tried that before, and my fist does not close right, so my index and middle finger sticks out and took all the weight. Real painful without cushion like thick carpet...

11 Jan 05:33

or your fingers if youre badass like me

11 Jan 05:30

you can do inclined push ups with your closed hands (fists) instead of open hands on the ground to make your wrists stronger

i have a squeezy ball that i use when my wrist hurts that i just squeeze as fast as i can for 3 mins. i also do bicep curls but with my hand curled inward to work the forearm

and use some ice packings

if your wrist hurts its probably the muscles in your forearm causing the soreness. your wrist is all tendons, the muscles cause them to get uneven tension. try massaging the muscles in your forearm
