I don't know why but whenever I do levels including the tigerbend push ups such as lvl 16 it seems to kill my wrists and forearms leaving them in pain for a few days. No problem with pull ups, even though I said I have tennis elbow, I guess it's something else. No problem with anything on the pull up bar (front lever raises, back lever hold, muscle ups, only a little pain in one arm hold), but when it comes to the tigerbend push ups, I don't know what's happening, I even recorded myself and the form looks good, should I like skip them and count the level as complete, or do something else?
Always remember to strech your wrists before and after every workout. If you still have problems , then stop this exercise immediately to prevent injuries. There are so many other great push-exercises apart from tiger bend push ups.
Yeah I do stretch them a lot, even on rest days.
Well, that's good. Have you tried elevated tigerbend push-ups? Or even against the wall with your body at a 45' angle? That will put a lot less pressure on your wrists. Start with those until your body gets a little bit more used to the movement; and then start lowering yourself until you reach the regular tigerbend push-up. Since tigerbend push-ups are supposed to work tricep mainly, why don't you try combining regular push-ups with another exercise that works mainly the tricep. Like dips or bench dips. Same thing for Russian Dips. I don't have anywhere to do them; so what I do is combine regular dips(for strength) with shuttle push-ups(form and strength). Try it out bro, and let us know how you're feeling. Also, make sure you talk to Chris about it; his opinion on this matter is way more valuable. Wait for his answer!
Thank you Daniel! I guess I will do the incline ones, to see if it's better. If not I will do the combination, that's a great idea. Yeah I will wait for Chris's answer if he has anything to say. Thank you! :)
First of all just be really careful. If anything hurts, stop right away and adjust so it doesn't hurt.
You could strengthen your wrists by doing the elevated as Daniel said, and then gradually build up wrist strength to do them on the ground.
