Sharp pain in wrist while benching

[MB1]

guys,

Ive been bench pressing about 35kg every 2nd day for about 2 weeks. Towards the end of each set I get a sharp pain in the wrists. I've been told by fellow gym people that it will go away. Anyone had this problem?

thanks

MB

try to keep your wrists straight when benching. Helped me when i first started

See if someone in the gym could watch you. You might be using a poor grip which is leading to the pain. Correct it NOW before it becomes one of those ingrained bad habits.

Lighten the load and use DBs. YOU need forearm work. Perform static wrist exercises in neutral position.

Yeah i can't argue with that. Thanks

what part of the wrist, im curious.

sort of in the carpal tunnel area. My dad has history of carpal tunnel problems now that I think about it. Not sure how relevant tho
