Heavy weight training

[Dischord]

Been at the gym for over 6 months now and I'm starting to lift some pretty big weights. I've noticed my wrists seem to be taking alot of the impact as they are sore but this usually goes after a few days.

Is it possible to do long term damage?

Isn't helped by a bike crash I had awhile ago and that fucked my wrist up

it is possible to damage, especially to the wrists knees etc, wear supports this should help. you may be able to by a wrist support/strap from your gym.

I use the cheap wrist supports from argos. Don't get wrist ache anymore. Only problem is you'll need slightly bigger gloves to go over them.

As stated wrist supports may help, otherwise you may notice that it will stop bothering you after a couple of months as your wrists get used to it - I had the same thing but if you persist you should find things settle down - although when I say persist, I mean do so responsibly so that you don't really injure yourself, because theres nothing worse than getting to a certain point in your training and then injuring yourself so that you're out of the game for 6 months, believe me, I speak from far too much experience.

along with that you could just do wrist curls with a barbell to work the forearm a bit more maybe?

Try a powerball. They're good for strengthening your wrist.
