| Wrist support for strength training
Just wondering if there's a product out there that will support your wrists while lifting heavy weights. I've looked at some sport stores/pharmacies but besides splints (which I have two of), there doesn't seem to be anything else that provides adequate support. Is there such a thing?
I have carpal tunnel diagnosed in both wrists; which has made them weak... upon strengthening my wrists VERY slowly through rehabilitation, I would like to continue to be stubborn and keep up with my weight lifting.
I bought 'weight lifting' gloves, which of course help with grip... but more importantly I need wrist support to decrease the pain.
Has anyone else gone through this?

-C | buy some wrist wraps, i know sportchek carries some decent ones (12"). But if you need longer ones you would have to buy online as i have yet to find any places that carry any longer than 12" locally. I have these http://www.inzernet.com/detail.asp?P...PS_IRON_WRISTZ 20" and they are great for benching.

Thanks for the feedback! I bought some straps from sport check today. Gonna try them out on Sat. I'm liking the look of the support of the harbinger gloves however.

Thanks Hamsup, I must have been looking right at them! Looks like I'll be making another trip over to check them out.
