I fucked up my wrist last Monday when I was floor pressing (couldn’t get the last two up so I dropped the weight forward and my wrist took the brute of the force) and I’m wondering if I should just squat a shit ton while it heals. I had big goals for the end of the year and I don’t want to stray too…

Your wrist will probably need 4 weeks to recover if it was that bad. Squats are awesome and if you have the mental toughness try doing 5×5,10×10, and 3×3 three times a week. Gains are waiting bruh…

Front squats hurt my wrists more than most other exercises. Hopefully you heal up quick man!

I can’t answer that question without knowing how good your squat form is. I don’t mean your legs, but whether or not the bar is properly supported by your upper back and if your grip on the bar is angled as safely as with a bench press. If not, then your wrists could hurt as much as if you were doi…

If my wrist was hurt, front squats would be the last thing I’d do, followed quite closely by squats. Safety bar would be ideal if you’ve got access to one.

I’ve been following a chaos and pain/high frequency split, so my body is good for high volume and frequency at this point. @MarkKO and @littlesleeper I normally use a clean grip, but I worked up to a heavy single with a no hands front squat last week just keeping my elbows high and really sinking i…

@T3hPwnisher yeah it was just the left one. I tried to do some one arm deads, javelin presses with just the right arm, single arm db presses, etc after reading a lot about single arm training for saving muscle on the opposite side. Only issue was that I work a labor job where I have been favoring s…

When I was recovering from ACL surgery, I trained my good side a bunch because my thought process was that I’d rather have 1 strong leg versus 2 weak ones. You might see if you feel the same way. If not though, you still have a TON of options with a single wrist injury. For deads, use chain suspe…

Yeah I have been doing all of that honestly. For my upper body I tried the ankle cuff, but really didn’t see much from it for my goals. I’ll keep trying it though to see if I can get it right. I like the idea of banded good mornings and may try those. How did doing just one side during your recovery…

[image] T3hPwnisher: And then, of course, there is always ab and neck work, which tends to be neglected. I agree with this one hundred for other people reading this. This year I took initiative to train my abs and neck at least 2-3 times a week and I have seen nothing but amazing gain in phys…

@littlesleeper yeah man, neck work is fucking rad and you build up quick. I started with right around 16 inches and I’m now in between 17-17 1/2. Made a huge difference in yoke.
