Weak wrist

Teferi · 2009-10-13 01:11:24

When I'm using weights, particularly the preacher curl and to a lesser extent the bench press my left wrist seems much weaker then my right. I've been thinking of strapping it up with tape but is there anything else I could do to strengthen both my wrists?

I'd recommend trying some sledgehammer levering to improve your wrist strength. This article should help get you started: http://www.straighttothebar.com/2009/02/hammering_strength_into_the_wr.html
