Do these help with weight bearing? I need wrist support for handstands, until my wrists get stronger. Would these work for that?

I use them for yoga when my wrists are stressed. I'm a drummer for a living. They seem to allow me to practice my yoga routine without a lot of discomfort. I recommend them.

Try it. It can't hurt. I use it when my wrist is bothering me when I play tennis.

They are good as wrist weights if you don't have small wrists. I have small wrists and they slip right off if I am not careful, but it I still use them anyways.

These are not wrist wraps, they are wrist suppots. They are specifically made to support your wrist. Where as boxing wraps are made to support the whole hand. I would go for boxing wraps.

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

They will bend with the wrist. I use them for bench press and my wrists still bend back but the wraps add stability and take some of the strain off. I hope this was helpful.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

They are definitely stable enough, but I find them uncomfortable to do push-ups because my wrists/forearm start to scrape against the square weights and the wrist guards (the two other columns besides the handle).

I don't think they would and stay that way reliably, no, due to the little ring/handle on the top in the center. They are sturdy enough, but I cannot see how they would stay upright if turned upside down and a weight placed on them...unless there were some kind of support added. And I can't imagine what type of support that would entail. What other purpose did you have in mind for them?

Utilizing these within your training cycle will increase strength with the same lifts. Rotate using them and not using them, in time you'll be able to lift more in those specific lifts. I found these to be most beneficial with pulling movements.

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

They are a little bigger than what i thought so they dont stay on that well unless you take a rag and stuff it around your wrist to make ytour wrist thicker personally i recommend using these more fore ankles but they do work on wrists its up to you. i do use them for both and havnt had any promblems.

Well, I only used them one time and have not got a chance to use them again. My feeling is that because they are very much like those "support a cause" bands that everyone wears, and the way they work is by pressure on your wrist not any mechanics, they should last for a long time, unless you are wearing them constantly!!!!!

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.

No. However, these wrist supports help prevent strain to the same tendons involved in tennis or golfers elbow by minimizing over flexion during exercise.

The weights I purchased weigh 3 lbs. I have thin wrists. I tried them on my wrists and they were a little loose. Hope this heps.

You can certain use them around a limb--whether the limb will support your weight is another question.

I use them to hold heavy weights, it may rip the inner lining eventually, but they do really help for the heavy weights and not getting your hands raw.
