Does having small wrists+hands limit your strength?
« on: April 04, 2009, 05:03:31 AM »
I have 6.5inch wrist and small-medium hands, i am quite strong in most exercises but on bench press with a bar my wrists are somtimes in pain which has held me back alot and is why i mainly use dumbells, and when deadlifting over 405 it really dosen't help when you have small hands and they only just wrap around the bar. Small wrists make your forearms look small by default aswell..
 :-\

If your wrists are small then the area which you can exert force from is smaller no? so the force is not spread so much and is on a smaller area not good for benching.

There are thicker bars at my gym and I can't bench with them comfortably. I choose the smaller bar. I just use wraps on other things.

I have tiny wrists and tiny hands yet I have good grip strength and general strength in movements. On the subject of forearms, mine are fine because I spent the first two years obsessed with building them up so anything I do now blows them up.

thats not true, i have small "girly" wrists/hands and i can tell you my grip is pretty strong.

Check your bench grip M101.  Got the bar on the heel of your hand, not in the palm?

I prefer DBs for benching too, not that my chest shows it.  405 dead is very respectable imo.  No straps?
