Would supporting your wrists with these help prevent "tennis elbow" when weight training? I've heard that excess wrist flexion can be a cause of that.

No. However, these wrist supports help prevent strain to the same tendons involved in tennis or golfers elbow by minimizing over flexion during exercise.

It doesn't keep it from fully flexing. There is a Velcro strap at the bottom near wrist that you can tighten as you need for support etc. I'd still think some flexing could happen though.

The bars have almost unlimited configuration options. With the forearm pads you should be able to eliminate some of the weight on your wrists. You can mount them in a more upright position and that should do the trick.

wrist wraps are design to limit mobility to the wrist joint. These wraps are substantial and I wouldn't use them for push-ups (flat palm). Perhaps you should get a smaller pair (for sprained wrists, for instance).

I haven't use them for that but I think you should be able to keep them in place if you use the red thumb straps. I use them for lifting exclusively.

I Believe so. They help supporting my wrists when lifting heavy weights. give them A try

Yes - and no. There are instructions to put the bands over your shoulders and lean forward. It kind of hurt the tops of my shoulders. I would think it should be part of your strengthening routine but not all.

I wouldnt use wristwrap hloves for sports. They lock your wrists from moving. Will likely hinder your ability to play...like changing grips

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

Reason it is little big, give you room when you use hand wraps for support ligaments / tendons / cartilages and to prevent any hand / wrist injuries. Some people choose to workout without the hand wraps, just working out light. Please remember this, striking with your fists, use you index and middle fingers' knuckles. They are stronger than the ring and pinky fingers' knuckles, these set of knuckles or the back of your hand called metacarples are known to fracture or hair line fracture(also known as "boxer's fractures" in real hand to hand combat.) be safe, stay healthy, have fun. Take care. Any more questions, feel free to contact me again, or research on the internet.: )

Yes, It depends on how big your hands are, but I can and definitely would recommend wearing wraps for a little more wrist and knuckle support, especially if you are going to be doing a lot of training.

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

This band is used often for the so call tennis elbow. I wear it on the arm near the elbow, not too tight, while playing tennis. It gives me full mobility while holding the muscle.

Personally I think they are. They are smaller, fitting inside my palm better. There are exercises included that I know I would find more difficult with a tennis ball. And I have found the three different firmnesses helpful in slowly building up my strength.

Yes, they do. I do handstands at my gym as well, and use them to help support my wrists, and they work great!

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.
