To start with I have not ever done any kind of strength training before so please keep it fairly simple. I move a lot of appliances outdoor equipment etc. and am quite strong when it comes to that, the only problem is my wrists I have noticed are quite weak in comparison to everything else so I am looking for some exercises to strengthen them, I've done wrist curls and reverse wrist curls but feel I'm doing something wrong cause with 25 pound dumbbells (way less than most things I move weigh) 10 reps and my wrists are completely done for the day they aren't even burning or anything they just lose all their strength and one time i even felt a sharp pain on the 9th rep. So any advice would be great. By the way my grip strength is fine, its just my wrists.

I move fridges, stoves, washers, dryers and furniture. See sig. I'm a feeble little old man as you can see in my avatar. Find the right angle and push/pull away, sort of like you do with a lady.

I can't see much of anything in your avatar actually. Fair enough getting the right angle is helpful but not always possible (especially when your doing a 2 man carry) So i still want to strengthen my wrists but wish to do so in a safe and effective way (as i mentioned i feel like I'm doing something wrong).

They sell cheap gripper things on Amazon. They actually do improve my grip, but I'm sure deadlifting and chins help a lot too. But the other things making sure you grip it right. With appliances and furniture the angles matter more than strength.
Seriously you can move anything if you are smart about it.
