Guys , been lifting a year and of course weight of the plates will increase too, I found that every time I do dumbbell curl or related bicep workout , my wrist become sore and obviously My biceps could lift heavier more reps but the soreness just make me stop and lift lighter instead. Wondering these two which would help? Or any better suggestion to reduce the soreness of wrist ?
The brand in my mind are harbinger wrist wrap glove and Maxx fitness lifting hook.

lifting hook? it doesnt help in ur bicep curls bro.
get a glove with wrist wraps. harbinger wrist wrap

i just ordered a weight lifting glove from ebay. only cost me around 2.30USD. damn cheap. will upload it once it arrived probably in another 2 weeks >.<

Shipping fees?

how bout just using wrist guard from watsons? works for me.

free shipping world wide

u need to use lifting straps or hook for the exercise tht need strong grip...imagine u can deadlift 80kg but because ur grip cannot handle the weight hence lowering ur performance.so by using straps or hook u can lift heavier weights without worrying about ur grip..

true. but dont abuse using straps, you still need grip strength. maybe for the last few sets its alright but using it all the way is just not necessary imo.

wrist guard? something like?? if can pic pls and price too bro ..

Added on December 28, 2011, 10:00 pmso hook is better or lifting straps ? i tot lifting straps cant be used for dumbbell curl? actually my main intention of using wristwrap or lfiting hook because of wanna lift heavier for my bicep without soreness.. i saw the greg plitt using a lifting hook so it would help for bicep workout i guess?

U mind posting the video here? I know he uses biceps blasters but not hooks

damn im sure hope my glove come in faster. doing a deadlift today is a b**** without protection

Gloves will not help much, use straps , Eco balls, chalks , train your grip

thanks for the advice bro. appreciate it. once i feel that glove is not enough (which i will soon). will move on to straps.

What I can say for now, on your arms day or bicep day, throw in some forearm training. Grip training.

thanks bro. may i know what you did for your forearm training. i cant seems to find a lot of exercise for forearm. probably they are a small muscle group? i dunno tho

I never do direct forearm training. I do a lot heavy(relative) deadlifts and that naturally trains my forearm. And I seldom use straps, even for rows and pull downs, only when my grip start failing. But you can try reverse curls, pipe curls, farmers walk, plate pinching as such. Good old wrist curls too.

farmer walk is good
static hold of heavy weight improve grip
or fat grip

strong grip = big forearm

try fast forward to 3min 42sec, i guess is not a hook as what i seen maxxfitness... but dono what is that. lol

those are some sort of wrist wraps with a padded grip. like those cushion pads that you hold in your palm, touted to help with your grip but I think you're better off using straps. And straps are cheap too

straps are cheap...got mine today from fitness concept...
