Wrist Strengthening
« on: August 20, 2012, 04:17:18 PM »
Hey all I have a question. Had shoulder surgery June 1 couldn't use my arm for 7 1/2 weeks just started some rehab/therapy. I want to start strengthening my wrist a couple weeks before I start bowling again. So when the time comes for that was wondering what is it that some you do for your wrists.




 Thanks Dan

Wrist curls. 

Put a dumbell in your hand while sitting with your arm resting on your leg.
Extend your wrist backward and curl it back up.  I wouldn't recommend heavy weights, just enough that you can do 3 sets of 10. You can gradually add weight if needed, but too much is never good.  This movement is similar to the loading and unloading of the wrist during release.

That's what I had to do when I hurt my wrist really bad in 2006.  These exercises I still do today.

I used to do a wrist roller curl.  use a wooden dowel, like a broom stick about 12" long.  Attach a rope in the middle and make it long enough to just reach the floor while standing up with your arms at waist height.  attach a weight plate, as heavy as you want.  What you would do is start with winding up/down the weight on the rope while keeping your arms stationary, using only your wrist, hands, and forearms.
