Has anyone had experience with these as wrist weights? I'm planning on using them for both wrists and ankles, mostly mostly wrists.

Can be used for wrist. It's very flexible. feels like sand or something similar provides the weight and the velcro strap fits all around

This are definitely not for your wrists. They're too big and bulky. They work fine on your ankles though.

Sorry, I bought them to weight down my lights as the stands aren't very stable. I'm a photographer. They seem fine, should work for what you want. :-)

I would agree with the other answer. These are great and I have used them for leg press and squating. Squat by holding the handles at shoulders and step on band. Leg press. Lay on back, hold handles shoulder height and push band woth feet.

On the sets that we bought, they were the larger ones than the wrist units. Each side has five of the one pound weights. We use them on wrists and ankles, as do most of the people in our "Silver Sneakers" class. You can add or remove up to five of the one pound weights per right or left side.

They will probably slip off your wrists with active exercise. Ankles would probably work better.

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

I'd say I have decent sized wrists for a female and they fit me huge. During the cold weather, i wore them over my hoodie's sleeves. But I use my ankle weights on my wrists now instead because they adjust more.

According to my wife they are a great exercise aid but her view is that they wouldn't do much for wrists. More for upper arms, shoulders and general cardio benefits.

i usually use them on heavy bench press days and sometimes on power cleans. They work good for that. If you just do not want your wrist to bend too much, then these are for you.

I wouldn't use these where cross-contamination is a concern. The weights are covered in fabric covered neoprene and can only be spot cleaned. Additionally, the weights will only fit an ankle or wrist that is approximately 3 inches in diameter.

I am by no means an expert, however, I will say that they work perfectly for the Pilates moves that require wrist movement. I have very sore and weak wrists and hands, but these bands enable me to complete plank work as well as push-ups and anything else requiring wrist movement. They really do work very, very well. They are also adaptable for larger to smaller wrists quite easily. Highly recommend!

Yeah they would be fine for small wrist. This is because you can simply wrap them around as many times as you would need to. With that said, these wrist supports suck.

The bars have almost unlimited configuration options. With the forearm pads you should be able to eliminate some of the weight on your wrists. You can mount them in a more upright position and that should do the trick.

They are very supportive and will save your wrist from bending in a fall on any surface, pavement or ice. However I don't think they would be good for ice skating based solely on the fact that they will get wet from the ice upon contact and start to harden up and might even run dye. Depending on how much your falling of course. I can't see a better choice for support though. They rock!

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.

I don't really understand your question, but I offer this and maybe it will help: The box contains a set of two weights. Each weight adjusts in weight by removing bags and adding weight bags. The straps are also adjustable on each weight so that these will fit wrists as well as ankles. I hope this helps.

Kathy-- I personally have not had any issues with the weights slipping. I have used them a lot, but only on my ankles (says you can use them on your wrists as well). The Velcro strap is very long and allows you to make the weight as tight as you need it. Hope that helps

I'm a running coach and I use these with several of my coached athletes during training. These are the best ankle weights I've used in over 20+ years of coaching since they are totally adjustable and easy to use. I have the 10lb. ankle weights and can take out the amount of weight I want whether its 2lbs., 5lbs., or whatever.
