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 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'm an ex-college football player and I use these for heavy duty weight lifting because I have bad wrists. Ideally when I start benching above 200 pounds I strap these on. This are not wrist weights, they're wrist wraps for lifting weights. I would ask your doctor what exactly your husband should be looking for.

They would, but they're a bit on the bulky side and your wrists would get sweaty. Plus for good support you have to wrap these tight and that's not comfortable for long periods of time. I'd personally recommend tape for biking.

I use them for ankles and wrists. The only concern is to make them a little (+ 2 small waits) heavier for your ankles, so I usually do the ankle exercises at different sessions than wrists. This way I avoid changing in the middle of exercising.Enjoy!

Absolutely! At first they may seem very tight and restrictive as they are designed to protect your hand and wrist when you fall down on asphalt or cement which you do a lot of with street rollerskates but after a while they loosen up and your fingers can move very well but in the beginning they will be very tight.

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.

These are ankle weights--of very high quality--but sized for ankles. Unless your wrist circumference is very large the ends of the weights would likely overlap. I don't know how this would feel; it would look a little strange. On balance I think you'd do better to get a good pair of wrist weights.

I haven't used them for that, but they would definitely help provide extra wrist support.

Yes, absolutely. I started wearing them during yoga classes and they really took all of the pressure off of my wrists!

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

I weigh 190 lbs and used them solely for balance and assistance after my surgery. I also had to sit on a stool in the shower. I had to grab bars and used them to assist me in standing up. They are really great, but I don't believe they were designed to support your body weight.

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

Really well, I'd say as good as a pair of dedicated wrist wraps. They work well for heavy bench presses, and squats (to help stabilize the bar). The straps are long, so they'll fit a variety of wrist sizes.

I am not completely confident in saying 'yes' to this one. I think it would depend on how much you are 'slamming' down. We use ours for plyo and also have a weight bench and weights on it. While I lift, they aren't heavy and I rarely drop them. They are a decent quality and can withstand a lot. If it were me, I'd order one set and see how it works before investing in more than 1 set.

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.
