Marc Weaver Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Can I get some pointers on how I can progress to doing wrist pushups for strengthening my wrists? I can't even do them on my knees...What is the next scaled down version of the wrist pushup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Griffin Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Do them on your knees but with piked hips. Start fully kneeling with your butt on your calves and slowly move the hips forward as you get stronger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Kowalski Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Easiest would be to do them against a wall, the taller you stand the easier it'll be. What I did mostly though was on my knees with wrists on a couch, and now I can do full wrist pushups on cement (only a couple though currently).

Craig Rackemann Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I started on my knees with piked hips as described by phrak above.An important point that hasn't been mentioned is to focus on doing these with a nice slow tempo. Don't be in a rush to progress to full wrist pushups by using quick jerky movements and bouncing out of the bottom of the pushup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Heiden Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've been working on my knees for a while and have found that if I perform them fast enough I can now do them from my feet - but if I slow them down to where there's no momentum I not only still need my knees, but need to pike my hips a lot. I've since started the full wrist routine and I think I'm developing wrist strength more globally. highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
