I'm in the dark b/c I didn't notice it until early Thursday when I went to tie my shoes and really felt it in my wrist. I don't feel anything when supporting my weight on the pullup bar, and very little in the pushup position (w/ hands wrapped around the bar of an iron gym) but if I try to support myself for a deep pushup (also on iron gym) it hurts real bad in one position, but if I change my hands a bit it's barely noticeable...

I either need to be more careful how I position my hands or consider wearing wrist braces - the cheap ones that just hold pressure around the wrist. I'm assuming that might help, not sure.

I don't have very small wrists, but apparently they weren't intended to be used for anything as I've had several minor injuries/sprains over the years from lifting shit and if I spend too much time on the computer, the use of the mouse makes my right wrist feel like it's gonna fall off :awesomegenetics:

I hurt my right wrist bench pressing a few weeks back and it still hurts when I lift.
