#Repost @squat_university ・・・ Do you have wrist pain with overhead barbell training? Here's a simple 3️⃣ step process to fixing the problem👇🏼 . Step 1️⃣: the wrist can become overloaded when the bar is held in a bad position over the head. These issues can often be traced back to overhead mobility. Laying on a foam roll (keep the back flat) move your arms holding a PVC pipe over your head until you feel a stretch in your chest.✅ DONT USE A HEAVY BAR as this can place too much pressure on the shoulder joint.❌Hold for 10-30 seconds ✅ . Step 2️⃣: light stretching of the forearm muscles can help improve wrist mobility and allow you to hold the bar more efficiently, decreasing harmful forces placed on the joint. Hold for 10 seconds.✅ . Step 3️⃣: For an more effective stretch, you can use a band to assist the body. Place the band around the base of the wrist, and turn your fingers towards the anchor of the band. Lift the arm slightly (creating a little joint space with the small bones in the wrist) and lean towards your fingers to bring out a stretch in your forearm. If you need to help keeping the base of your hand down, use your opposite free hand to push it down (you can even place your free hand under the band).✅ This is a stretch I learned from @shift_movementscience. Hold for 10 seconds.✅ . If the pain is not relieved soon after implementing these tools, I suggest seeking out a medical professional. _________________________________ #Squat #SquatUniversity #Powerlifting #weightlifting #crossfit #training #wod #workout #gym #exercisescience #fit #fitfam #fitness #fitspo #oly #olympicweightlifting #hookgrip #nike #adidas #lift #crossfitter
