Pushups Don't Have to Cause Wrist Pain 

Thank you for 2,000,000 friends! What can I do to help you?

"But it can be kinda pricey. It's called a wall" Your humour is absolutely amazing.

This guy is the best. Straight to the point, short video, and calls us friends. I will question my existence when you stop calling us friends.

"It's called a wall" you're a funny guy haha

Quick tip for the knuckle pushups: If your family has a history of arthritis, don't do bare knuckle pushups. They can really fuck up the dexterity of your fingers later in life and it's not worth having temporarily stronger knuckles. Use plenty of padding for safety.

walls do be expensive these days😳

Shoutout to the person who said his push-ups causes wrist pains on Hampton's previous video "How to Do More Pushups"

Hey Hampton 👋, before I found this channel I couldn't do a single pushup or pull up, now i can do 7 pull ups and 15 pushups and im still going ,thank you brother

Before boot camp my wrists and forearms were fine, but ever since I've returned I have reoccuring wrist pain. Its gotten so bad that just going into push-up position is extremely painful. I'm seriously going to try this for a month, then update this post. Whether it works or not, I appreciate it!! Edit: Coming to you from 2048, we now have a lasting cure for the common cold and mobile rpgs have skyrocketed causing consoles to be obselete. Bad jokes aside, the pain started to feel as though shackles that were a few sizes too small were crushing my wrists as I resumed push-ups. Any workout where I was using my own weight caused pain, and it doesn't help that I got far weaker from going so long without arm exercise. Good thing I toughed it out. Around late August I found that doing assisted push-ups with your wrists at the aforementioned angle and slowly rotating your wrists in the morning helped a bunch. My pain increased for a while, but that was just my case. For a personal reason, I can't give the Marine Corps another shot as of now, but I'm grateful I found this video when I did. It may seem small to you, but it was a big help, I appreciate the home remedy, Hampton.

your seriously the most positive youtuber i know and id just like to say thank you, you've helped me improve not only my fitness but with coffee with hampton grow as a person too.

"But it can be a bit pricey, its called wall" Me who only has a roof, some bamboo and my PS5: 👁👄👁

Really appreciate videos like this. I've got nerve damage in my wrists so pushups can be really painful if I'm not careful. Thanks so much for the ideas & positivity.

I love your humor. It's great! You are a huge motivation for me to exercise!

"Gohan" got the point right on stability control in the body with objects than equipment to become super saiyan Excellent workout.

Oh nice, I actually really need to strengthen my wrists, they are in pain a lot lately. Will try to do some lighter pushup variations to strengthen them~

Thanks for this video! I fell last year and broke my wrist. Now that the bone has healed I need to work up my wrist strength again.

This has been a problem for me for ages! Thanks so much for helping out!

I woke up today with an awful pain in my wrists because of the push ups yesterday and found this. This channel is a blessing. Hampton is a blessing

Thick grip is best, especially for those of us with carpal tunnel issues.

I've been following RU-vid calisthenics athletes for maybe 8 or 9 years, back to the days of those _horribly_ edited street workout videos. And I think your channel is the best addition to the scene in a long time.

I was talking to my physical therapist about this earlier today! Great timing

i love how straight to the point this is

Lol just the video i needed, I've been complaining lately about wrist pain on my right hand

Thank you so much!! I had wrist surgery a few years ago and it's hard for me to do push-ups. This is exactly what I needed. 💖

Pls do a vid on why pull ups cause shoulder pain. This only happens to my left arm for some reason and it feels really wrong

One of the two most wholesome fitness channels on youtube. Have a great day too, my friend.

Hey Hampton! Could you do a video on elbow pain/popping when you’re doing push-ups too? Or is it just the same process of building up mobility and strength from less intensive variations?

I believe this man completely, why is he so kind?

Those walls are the most expensive pieces of equipment!

Exactly what I needed! For the first time in my life have push-ups caused me wrist pain, so this video will be put to use!

The "it's called a wall" part made me laugh so much. Thank you for that:)

I've had this problem for the longest time and have been liking for a solution for so long. Thank you so much🤩🤩

"You can fix this with the right equipment, but it can be kinda pricey" Me: shit someone has finally corrupted hampton and now he's gonna be any other influencer advertising random stuff :( "... it's called a wall." Me: oh thank god

Just to watch you and listen to your wisdom is calming! As I always say to my son "I LIVE You Much💝 GOD Loves you more than I do 😇"

I was literally asking this question a couple of hours ago. THANK YOU

No BS, just straight to the point. I like it.

This was actually a problem for me, thank you sensei

I actually had this problem before so I started doing some of the modified pushups from your other video! Thank you!

"They are very expensive when they come with houses" lol Love your humour

This is a huge help, I've been struggling with wrist pain for a couple years. I had to do push-ups on my knuckles. I'm going to try strengthening my wrists and see if that helps. Thanks for the tips.

I'm actually recovering from an injury so I'm doing exactly that but honestly... It's abit fraustrauing and boring to do low numbers cuz of the wrist henrrance when u can actually do a ton more

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This man just wants us to be happy and be well and I love him for that.

Hey Hampton I am building a new house and plan on building a wall for this purpose can you recommend a specific grade of gypsum or paint color for maximum benefit

You are literally the best influencer for workout

It causes me elbow pains. My elbows get very warm theeen tendonitis. What do I do? My elbows are tucked in, I do them not that fast, not that slow... Heck, even my knees have the same problem.

I love your wholesome attitude my guy. Always making me smile while teaching me 😊

After a (no fault) major car accident I think your channel is just what I need. Ty

This came just in time, I've been doing them with dumb bells due to wrist pain issues!

Hampton and Noel Deyzel are going to build the best and most wholesome fitness communities RU-vid has ever seen!

This is really helpful for people just starting. I used to have wrist pain doing push-ups, so I can sympathize with how hard it is to do exercise as a beginner.

I have repetitive motion injuries in my wrists and elbows, I find using hand wraps for boxing helps greatly. They are not restrictive like a traditional brace, but offer a bit of support and keep better alignment. Just don't wrap too tight! Close hands into a fist throughout the wrapping process to ensure mobility and start over if it's anything beyond "comfortably snug". Stretch gently after. For me the pain never fully stops regardless of strength and this allows me to keep working out. Maybe that can help someone 🙂 (not a Dr! Check with yours if unsure!) Just found you and really liking your videos!

Bro i have literally been having wrist pains for the last 2 weeks this is really helpful

Woo. Now i know the reason why my wrist hurts when i'm doing push ups Thanks for the tips, mate!

Thanks Hampton! This is the perfect advice to go with my new workout routine. :)

Thank you sir I've always struggled with painful wrists when doing pushups this really helped

The "Have a beautiful day my friend" got me have a good day everyone😶‍🌫️

This was very relevant to my current issue! I also saw someone asking on you last RU-vid live for you to do exercises for relieving piriformis syndrome so I wanted to also ask if you could consider possibly doing a video for that in the future?

Pain does not come from weakness, it comes from disfunction in the joint. The only way to fix it is by seeing a gonstead chiropractor that will fix the joint, then give it resting time. Once healed strengthening and ROM exercises can be beneficial in reducing further injury but should not be done on an already painful joint. Thanks for listening

have a beautiful day hampton😊♥️

Congratulations on 2 million Subscribers!! ♥️🎊🎉🎊🎉♥️❤️❤️🌹

That was extremely helpful. I’ve been doing weighted push ups and it’s starting to inflame my wrists.

Heyy... The video I asked for! Thanks a lot for help Hampton, You have a nice day too!

You come across as a very nice person❤️ . It is very calming and beautiful to watch your videos ✊🏿🙏

I was talking to my wife this morning about how i struggled with pushup due to wrist pain. Nice. Thanks

Thank you so much this was the main reason I didn’t do push-ups but now I can ❤️❤️❤️

This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

This rly helped since i've just started doing pushups, i keep this in my mind

Just a total legend!!!! Love his videos. Great genuine guy

Short and to the point . . . I kinda like this guy

What an absolute main character chad you are. Thanks for this

A really nice use for the short format. #FeedTheAlgorithm

How did youtube know I needed this??? I litteraly found out I had this provlem yesterday

Man I love you. You make me so happy, thanks for everything you do! You can also try to reccomend rotational rotation of the shoulder in extended push up position which does something with wrist strength and mobility

This is super helpful. Got tendinitis in both of my wrists a couple months ago and push-ups caused serious pain.

As much as I love your tips and tricks, I equally love the locations you choose for your videos

Thank you very much for this video. I've been having problems with my wrist burning like hell from push ups while my muscles were only slightly feeling it. I will start with the most expensive version ^.^ the wall push up and do more streches.

i don't why but every single time i see your face it makes me smile, my friend.

Thank you! I injured my wrist doing push-ups incorrectly, and was needing to learn a safer way to do them until I’m strong enough!

Thank you very much. The dumbell solution was absolutely perfect, could not be more thankful.

This is one of the reasons I like to switch it up between standard and knuckle push-ups (among other variations). Mixing it up so you're not doing the same of push-ups every session/set helps with wrist pain for sure!

Wow, I was just thinking about my wrist pains and wondering whether or not I should continue doing push ups... thank you so much

You make me feel nice, I don't know why or how. I hope you feel half as good as you make other people feel

Been waiting for this one.

I've been having this exact problem for a bit over a week, so this video couldn't have been made at a better time

Can't believe this showed up when I needed the most. Love ya

My brotha from anotha motha, HAMPTON! One day, we’ll have a cup of coffee and talk about the pleasantries of a healthy mind body and soul. Until then be well, and thank you for being another positive impact in the health and wellness space, as well as being a compassionate person to the world.

I think you can also mention the training of finger strength so that the weight gets redistributed amongst those phalanges instead of concentrating on the wrist.

Yes. This is what I needed. Thanks Hampton!

Thank you for this. I fractured my wrist in several places due to falling head first 14ft from a tree. I have had limited mobility in my wrist for some time now and so I will be giving this a try

Yeah I kinda just used my knuckles cause I didn’t know how to fix the pain. So thanks for the help!

I was never able to do pushups for this reason... hopefully this will help! Love your content, good sir.

That was very wholesome thank you

This is something i never knew i needed

I swear you upload just what I want to hear and surprisingly nobody else talks about these little things. Also have you ever thought of doing stand up? I swear I never see your jokes coming and they always get me

Thanks for this video. Ive broke both wrist and an arm bone popped out of me. Plus 3 skull bones. And messed my shoulder and back. Ive fallen off a 10 foot step onto my head. My hands took mpre of the impact and saved my life. 10 months ago

perfect! that's exactly what I was looking for Thank you !

We. Love. Hybrid Calisthenics.

Thanks for the tips. My left wrist and the middle of my hand acts up when I do a pushup so I feel bad for not being able to complete one. Nevertheless, I will try out the advice you gave. Thank you

Every video you make that I watch, makes me smile 😊 Have a beautiful day 🙏🕉

I literally tried doing wall push ups for the first time in years today but stopped quickly because of the wrist pain, thank you, algorithm, for reading my mind and thank you, hybrid calisthenics, for anticipating that people might need to know this
