today at the gym i tried some snatches and front quats for the first time. I went like really light on the weight, however my wrists hurt afterwards. this pain limited the weight on the exercises. I have read some about this and believe it is a flexability issue. what kind of streaches and stuff should i do. I am almost certain that i have the proper technique on the lifts also btw. thanks for any replies.

i'm guessing you're using a clean grip on front squats instead of cross-armed?

I had the same problem yesterday when trying to bench...I picked up the bar and I got a throbbing pain in my wrist and couldn't work out at all. Any help?

Yes, I was doing close grip, with elbows close to my sides, so they were very straight... And I have been benching for months without any pain, I hope this heals

how close was your grip? if it's any closer than palms over elbows (i.e., more or less shoulder width), you're asking for wrist injuries.Originally posted by METAL VIPER

Your wrists are weak right now, keep at it and they will strengthen in time

My wrists were directly above my elbows. But I can't figure out why my my left wrist is doing this, I haven't done anything to it that I can remember. HEAL!
