Wrist Pain With Pushups?

A video still of a man in a gym demonstrating an exercise that targets the arms and lats.

Pushups are one of the most effective bodyweight exercises out there. Properly done pushups help strengthen your upper body, core, and even get your lower body activated and working.

BUT,

If you don’t perform them properly, you put yourself at risk for a nasty injury.

You might avoid doing pushups for many reasons: they feel too hard, you don’t quite know how to do them, or you get pain when attempting them.

Today we’re going to focus on the last one of those possibilities: pain (specifically in the wrists) when doing pushups.

Coach Markus has your fix! And it will take you less than a minute to learn about.
