While doing the crab I feel a lot of pressure/pain in my wrists. The guy in the video mentioned that this would be probable but I've always been concerned about my wrists due to the fact that I'm a chiropractor and use them frequently. I have been leery of bench press for the same reason. Is this just tightness that will improve with practice or could I be doing some harm?

Wrist pain

- If you are feeling 'pain', you are working too intensely. Never train thru pain. Pain is the body's way of telling us that something is not right and needs attention.
- Some wrist mobility work will be coming up in your course syllabus shortly.

My right wrist feel really tight and there's some mild pain as I stretch them. My left wrist feels fine. The mobility work seems to exacerbate the pain. Should i be performing the wrist mobility work less intensely?
Kevin, Coach is absolutely spot-on. Having a Masters in Pain Management, I totally agree with him that Pain is a warning that you should back-off. Take it more slowly, be patient. Increase the load very slowly (or something will tear). ;-)
