Can these be used effectively with bicep curls to help with tendonitis (golfers elbow)? In other words, will this help keep the wrists in proper position for heavy curls.

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

Yes, these straps are very useful when lifting heavy. They stay in place and do not move even after several reps. I can lift much more weight with these on and my writs don't hurt afterwards.

Most wrist straps just assist but will not keep a solid hold. However, I use these and they are very effective and are comfortable when going heavy. Moreover, I would recommend doing forearm exercises that target the lower and upper part of the forearm to help your grip and wrist strength.

This will help with dead lifts and one arm row and hammer curls. This is what i use them for.

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.

Yes, You can use underhand. The angle as any straight bar puts some pressure on the wrists.

@ Joann McNinch...honestly, I am going to say no. I think they might be to thin to give any type of relief to arthritis in the hands. Hope this helps.

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 use this elbow support every time I play disc golf. Its a major help for tennis and golf elbow as it applies pressure consistently. We throw discs up to 400 feet with full velocity in our sport and it can cause severe soreness. the elbow support definitely helps.

I thought about them also,but, then after awhile to put the fingers around the ball is very beneficial to elongating, or you could say stretching the fingers for a better grip,which opens the hand better,which keeps the hand from completely closing. which later would require surgery with the possibility of no completion of rehab for that hand. I tried one from a friend , it was very difficult to get on the end of the fingers,however, after sometime, I believe that they help getting the hand stronger. You also have to know that the finger loops will pull completely out of the ball and can be placed in later making this product more usable in many ways. Good luck

My husband has shoulder problems and he uses them on his wrists all the time. His therapist suggested them and they work great!

Yes they slip down on my bicep and ride up on my wrist. I have kind of a skinny arm though. So a man with muscles might have better luck keeping it in place. I'd recommend getting the sleeve with the thumb hole. Hope this helps!!

Yes; they go from the wrist to the middle or top of bicept. However, if you have skinny arms they fall down. Otheriwise I think it would work. Good Luck.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.

Though not a doctor or physical therapist I can tell you that I would bet you'd be fine. There is no wrist bending with these. As long as you can make a fist you should be fine. I like these a lot because of the fact that it doesn't put undue pressure on the wrists. Hope that helps.

i never really tried using it to curl but im sure it helps by giving it a flip you will actually need a thinner pair of these if they have any it'll help curl.

I wear them on both arms I do not play BB but took a few swings this morning with no problems you can adjust the top and bottom bands to get the fit that works for you. Dont know if it will keep you from hyperextending.

It compresses the ligament and tendon which causes the pain of tennis elbow and golfers elbow and other repetitive strain injury chronic pain issues of the wrist and arm, specifically of the radial and ulna nerve. My doctor suggested it and it helps tremendously.
