Good for warming up. Use a light amount of weight to avoid injury.

* Stand with feet shoulder width apart.
* Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly more than shoulder width apart.
* Rest the barbell across the fronts of your thighs.
* Bend at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight, and lower the barbell toward the floor until you've reached the following position:



* Legs bent at 90û
* Hips bent as far as possible without sacrificing a straight back and square shoulders
* Head kept up facing forward
* Shoulders above the level of the hips
* Hips above the level of the knees so the thighs are not parallel to the floor
* Barbell should reach or almost reached the floor (You could start the exercise from this position if you wanted to.)

* Vigorously, but with balance and control, lift the bar, using the legs and back.
* Slightly bend the knees to receive the bar at the top of the chest.
* Stand tall with chest high and shoulders down, chin tucked close to your neck.
* Press the bar with the heal of your hand over your head.
* Lower the bar to your chest and to the floor.
* Repeat.

For a warm-up, you might try a clean and press with light weight, only once you've raised the barbell above your head, lower it behind your neck, press it above your head again then lower it to the floor and repeat. 2 sets of 12 reps each.





Dead Lift
Main Target: the spinal erectors (back muscles along the spine) Be careful! Also targets the buttocks, quads, forearm for gripping, trapezius (upper back) and the calves. The rest of the back is used for stability.

Similar to the first half of the clean & press Ð be very careful whenever supporting weight with your back. Make sure you always keep it straight!

* Stand with feet shoulder width apart with a bar on the floor.
* Insteps under the bar.
* Knees bent, shoulders above the hips and hips above the knees.
* Back retaining good flat posture.
* Head up. Face forward.
* Grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly more than shoulder width apart.
* Lift the bar, straightening your legs and then rotating your upper torso to an erect stance.
* Carefully lower the bar to the ground.
* Repeat.




Here is what theyre saying on this forum. Besides this a lot of other things about the topic.
"when exposed to stress and pressure, bone absorbs more calcium. hence, weight training can *** to bone mass and why boxers can develop larger wrists. but the change will not be significant. you are limited by your frame size"

Gripping exercises, like repetitively squeezing a racquet ball.

Wrist curls with weights (as suggested above).

There just aren't a lot of exercises to strengthen the wrist. These will help a lot if you do them regularly.

Be sure to use handwraps when hitting the heavy bag and when sparring to avoid wrist sprain injury. Most sporting goods stores sell reusable handwraps made by Everlast that work extremely well.

If you have a light weight,about 5 pounds or find something around the house abought that weight.Find a spare peice of rope or old long shoelace .Tie the rope around the weight.Find a dowl or stick about a foot and tie the ropr to the dowl or stick on the other end of the rope.This is the simple but good workout to stegthen your forearms and wrists.Hold your arms out straight holding the dowl and slowly wrap the rope around the dowl until you get to the weight.Then slowely unwind it back down.Do this untll your forearms and wrists are burned out.Goodluck.Do this daily and you will have forearms like popeye matte.Eye eye.

Answer 3

Rowing will make your wrist muscles grow stronger.
Finger grips, where you squeeze with the tips of your fingers, will build muscle on your wrists.
Any kind of squeezing strengthens the wrists.
I played a game with an old fashion joy stick for a week and found my grip was so strong I could hold a coin at the bottom opening, in one of those iron man v-shaped coil grips, for a long time. While the average strength guy could hold it for less then but not longer then a minute without dropping the coin.

Answer 4

You should try wrist curls. Rest your forearm on a table or bench with your hands over the edge palms down. Use a small weight 2 1/2 or 5 lbs and lift up past level.

You can also do reverse bicep curls (palms down)

Both of these will work your wrists and forearms.

Answer 5

do pushups on your fists rather than flat handed

Answer 6

Having different parents probably would do it. Since it is
all genetics.
