Hey guys,
Whenever I perform barbell wrist curls (either barbell or curl-bar [I don't like calling anything EZ
]) my right wrist joints "pop." This occurs during the concentric (lifting up the bar) phase of every rep, beginning with the first rep.
I can do behind-the-back barbell wrist curls as well as standing dumbbell wrist curls without this popping sensation occurring. But the problem with these exercises is that they limit the stretch at the end of the eccentric phase (lowering the bar) as compared to performing standard wrist curls over a bench, which makes them less effective.
During the concentric phase of these two exercises, I don't quite reach the point at which the "pop" occurs. So I believe I can handle these two exercises simply because of the limited range of motion.
In the past I have broken my wrist... could this be the cause of the "popping?" I don't want to injure my wrist again, but if I can do anything to possibly be able to do over-the-bench wrist curls again, I would be all for it.
Anyone out there have any advice or suggestions?
Thanks, and happy Mother's Day to all you Mom bodybuilders and powerlifters out there.
