Wrist supports

hyper_piper45 · 18 Jan 2006 at 18:44

hi, im looking for some wrist supports for weight lifting and i'd like some advice. I'm a bit confused at the prices. They range from about £5-15. Is there anything to justify the price difference or is it just different brands?

Also can anyone recommend any or a good site. Most i find want about £5 delivery!

Cheers

Whats your reason for needing them?

Every now and then i get a bit of pain in my left wrist when doing a few exercises.

Which exercises? I used to get bad wrist pains when doing upright rows and straight bar bicep curls. I also got it on the bench now and again due to bad form.

Its happening on seated dumbell shoulder press. I mainly want the supports to, obviously, provide support and keep my wrist stronger in the excercise.

I like the look of those. What size do you sugest? In all honesty i have fairly small wrists so would 12" be ok?

Ive gone for the 12" one's. Cheers for the advice.

A2Z ill let you know how useful they are. Ordered them from the states so could be a few days till i know.

Just an update on the straps. Got them today and they were a great help, performed the excercises that usually strain the wrists and had no pain at all.

Thanks oddjob for the recommendation!
