How do I strengthen my wrists?
Hi guys,
I have weak wrists and I am getting a lot of pain. I've been doing exercises such as dumbbell curls, bench press, overhead press and pulls. My body has been getting stronger but my wrists are weak and have pain.
Need some advice on exercises that can strengthen my forearms and wrists.

If your wrists are in pain maybe the problem is you're holding the bar wrong and putting unnecessary pressure on your wrist.
For bench make sure your wrist is straight and not bent. For overhead press you've got to have the bar in the heel of your palm. This guy has a good explanation at about 1:17.
Edit: As for your physique, you look skinny fat. If you want to lift to look good you should cut first and lean bulk(gain around 2lbs a month) to keep fat gains down. That's just my advice, do whatever you want.

why is he shirtless?
In fact why is the OP shirtless?
This is why I get anxiety when I go to the gym. There's really no need to expose your chest.

No homo.
Deadlifts, bent over row, shrugs, etc., work the forearms as part of your body's overall progression. If these aren't in your routine you might consider adding one or more, depending on your routine at present. If you want to specifically target forearms though, farmers walk is a good exercise for this.

He's in his own home, he can be shirtless if he wants. The OP is shirtless because he wants his physique critiqued.

yeah but he's making a video so he's going to be sharing it with a wider audience in fact now I think of it this is potentially worse since more people will see him showing off. He's doing a video about the wrists why not wear a vest shirt?
As for the OP his physique is weak I'd hide that.

Actually he probably put thought into what he was going to wear or in his case not wear since he wants more subs and if he can show off his physique maybe he'll get people "mirin" him and subbing.
Okay mystery solved.
OP if you're getting wrist pain then it's likely because of your form.

I don't think its happening because of bad form. I think its because Im a type 1 diabetic and I lose strength quite quickly. Ive been getting weak wrists and legs before I started working out.
Just saying..
Btw guys, do you think I look strong/fit in my pics? Ive been working out really hard for the past few months. I bench press 35 kg quite easily.
(thanks for the opinions/advice given already)
Guys, should I wear weight gloves? I've been doing the farmers walk exercise to strengthen my wrists with 10 kg dumbbells and I've been getting blisters on my hands.
@SEHughes I dont know if I'll be able to bench 135kg but I'll try my best. Im benching 40kg right now. Still increasing.

Only if you're going to get yourself a pretty little dress to match.
My partner got one of these to increase the strength and flexibility of their hands and wrists for playing guitar

Why do you have to be such a rude idiot? Learn some manners.
