Wrist Work as Warm Up 3+ times a week

Hi guys,

I did some research before creating this post, so forgive me if I missed it and this question was already answered. I find a lot of improvement in upper body exercises overall by focusing on the wrist exercises in the handstand program (thought I am starting over on the handstands and never made it to PE3 before) as warm up. In general, I think my wrists and forearms have always been weak/stiff. However, I do not want to over do it if this seems like too much. If I am not experiencing negative side effects, is it okay to do wrist work 3-4 times a week? Or do you all think that this is too much and results would be better with less.

Thanks in advance,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

I recommend starting off with small changes. If you are used to doing the wrist series one time per week, I recommend only doing it two times per week at first. Once your body has gotten used to that volume, you can add in a third day or wrists. I suggest limiting yourself to 3 times per week maximum.
