whenever my bf complains about something hurting after a workout i buy him new safety equipment and we go over his form :meow-hug: i have a checklist and a clipboard, very official
totally recommend belts, wrist guards, knee guards, and those shoulder things that keep your posture tight. he lifts so much weight and is so big that i take no excuses from him, one slip up could totally smash a foot or something. got him special shoes for lifting and everything. that one was hard to find we went through like 5 brands of shoe till we found something that really worked
really do not underestimate wrist guards. our society puts so much strain on wrists when it comes to computers and stuff and then of course if you work out a ton that just adds more strain. he does so much better and can reach higher weights by taking care of his wrists
True, but I'm desperate. I have these wrist braces but they're kinda shitty and the velcro is going, not sure if I wanna buy more either. I guess, are you talking about wrist guards like you would wear when skateboarding or something? Or a brace?
def recommend against velcro. straps with buckles are better and last longer
we have braces, those for skateboarding, and there are weightlifting ones. just google it for the weightlifting ones. we also have some for keyboards that he uses. like i said, he can lift a frankly absurd amount of weight, like nearly 1k pounds, and could win competitions if he wanted so we're sort of minmaxing his joint stress to make sure hes reducing it at all times. hes gonna be exercising like crazy no matter what so i just make sure hes safe

What kind of wrist guards? I have really fucking annoying wrist pain that goes off and on, I can't even do a bunch of my hobbies anymore because of it
benefit is gonna vary person to person, people have differently shaped wrists. requires a lot of trial and error
