Weak Wrists?

[BLACK4PANZY]

Hi Cathe:
I seem to have a problem doing bicep curls, especially
one-arm curls. My wrists feel weak and give out before
my arms do. Is it okay to go heavy and support the
wrist, or should I do something like wrist curls to
help strengthen the wrist? Thanx for your help.

As long as you are not feeling any pain in your wrist then I think you should do both. Bt if you ARE experiencing pain in your wrist(as opposed to just an exhausted weak feeling), then lay off exercises that involve your wrist until the inflammation and/or irritation goes away. Then come back slowly with light weight and strengthening exercises such as your wrist curls. Take care!
