I get sore wrists (and sometimes at the base of the palm) from doing planks and push ups, not lifting. Would these help with that?

It would a little but push up handles and let your wrists keep a more neutral position would help more.

If you were lifting I would say yes. I still have mine with no signs of them breaking. However for push ups the straps are pretty think and might prevent you from bending your wrist. Hope that helped.

Honestly, I believe these wraps would be to tight around the wrist to pull off bodyweight exercises without pain. A plank on the other hand may be ok because this wrap features a nice cushion wrap.

They will help support your wrists and that should also alleviate some of the discomfort! Try also varying the position of your wrists ie: try leaning a tiny bit forward or backward

I believe so, if you do not want to bother wrapping your hands all the time. I feel very comfortable hitting a heavy bag all the time. I have prior boxing injuries and so far I have felt no pain in my wrist or hands. Highly recommend for beginners.

I would say the perfect pushups are good for beginners and experts. Very easy to use, and much easier on the wrists than normal pushups. I use them every day....Love Them!

I was prescribed wrist supports to wear at night to keep my wrists straight. I hadn't realized curling my wrists at night (sleeping like a cat) was giving me wrist pain during the day. No, they won't keep your from clenching your fists if that's what you mean.

Yes, but I have arthritis and carpel tunnel in my dominant hand. So, I am not sure it would hurt the average, more healthy person. However, it does take about ten minutes before my hands becomes sore. :)

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

If your wrists are weak it may be difficult at first. I do planks on this mat, but it is think and your wrists will sink into it. Personally I really like this mat and would buy it again but planks were a little struggle at first. Now my wrists are stronger. The mat is firm, but still has some give. My wrists sink about half way through it. Hope that helps.

Joann, I'm sorry you're in so much pain, I'm pretty fortunate to only have some back issues now and then, so I don't know, but I'm guessing they wouldn't because the function is to put pressure on a certain point on your inner wrist, which helps motion sickness.

They are definitely stable enough, but I find them uncomfortable to do push-ups because my wrists/forearm start to scrape against the square weights and the wrist guards (the two other columns besides the handle).

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.

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.

I've owned mine for a few months now and use it doing total body workout. My wrists are small and it moves a bit but otherwise no problem.

The padding are not that thick, but they do a good job of padding your palm and help with griping. I haven't notice any issues with dumbbells or barbells during my work out. Hope this help narrow you in the right direction.

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

Should help. I'd also do some of the exercises in "Treat Your Own Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" too to help avoid problems.

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).

Yes these will help! I have Arthritis in my thumb as well and I use a bar with the elastic bands on it when working out,this helps when I have to spread my fingers to hold the bar!
