Have you tried wrapping/taping your wrists? When I train through a heavy cycle, I have to do this since I have small wrists.

you don't want to do this all the time, but maybe for the next few weeks to see if you just have a nagging injury that needs to heal.

Also, pay VERY close attention to what your wrists do when you are lifting. Many people have a tendency to relax their wrists when lifting, which places them in a "cocked back" position and leaves them vulnerable to injury.


A trick I learned is to squeeze the h*ll out of the barbell/dumbbell when I am lifting it. This will help build your forearm and wrists also.

Just a few tips ...
