How do you take care of your wrists when carrying or lifting weights (pumping iron, pushups, carrying a heavy bag...it doesn't matter as long as it's heavy) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The days I lift heavily I tend to wear a wrist brace to help take some strain off them. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have the feeling results of that will appear in the years to come.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I came close to some serious injuries a few years back and had to wear it for a couple months. If I practice extensively (6+ hours or something) or when I record that long, I wear it afterwards - usually when I sleep and it helps keep the damage at bay.

Seems like hard work and heavy weights make your wrists stronger, while using a mouse for hours on end can be destructive. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've noticed a lot of people lifting weights in a very bad way for the wrists, some of them are musician friends who just don't wanna pay attention to their body.

The main thing I try and avoid is bending the wrist backwards.. I think my outside wrist muscles are weaker than my inside ones.. (could be a guitarist trait) so I could do with strengthening those. Cosmin's weight on a rope exercise was really good for that when I did it.. but I haven't got into the habit of doing it regularly yet, but I will.

I usually carry a load (bass hardcase + pedalboard + backpack) when I'm gigging. I once bended my wrist too much by trying to get out of a bus with this load in hands and in between the seats. It produced an injury that stayed for months You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
