So i went indoor rock climbing in a church for the first time yesterday for two hours... enjoyed it i think i am addicted...

that isnt the issue, the issue is, straight after that i went cricket training... havent done any of that training for over a few months so was thoroughly excited... first ball lost my footing and fell over (funny i know got the mick taken out of me by all my team mates.... didnt realise that i had tweaked my wrist in that fall until i got home... managed to do a few chin ups so i thought it would be fine...

this morning i tried to do my morning 10 sun salutations, couldnt even do one, couldnt get the arms straight due to the wrist hurting nor any vinyasa... thoroughly disappointed!

I was wondering if any one can help with new routines for a week or so.. without pushups to keep going.. i am feeling really disheartened today and i really want to make it for sundays indoor rock climb again

I would be very grateful for any help!

Not sure how bad your wrist is? but you could try strapping it up quite tight to restrict movement, I have CTS in my left wrist, and when it plays up I do that. I somtimes do pushups ect, on my knuckles to stop my wrist from bending, and I always use wrist straps for pull ups.

Paul i think i might have to use your advice on strapping, it seems like i have brusied it. I can move it all round but a bit of pain occurs at certain points, i will try different ways to set myself up when i get home for pushups and see what feel best... do like your idea of knuckle pushups...i think tonight though will give my body a rest apart from trying the comfortable positions for the push up

Cheers buddy

Try push-up bars if you can. I have really bad wrist issues myself and the handles really help. If I don't feel like doing them I do push ups with my fists and it keeps them centered. Its hard on your hands doing the entire routine that way but I think it gives a nice workout. Hope that helps.

Btw why on earth would anyone practice cricket?! That's like volunteering to go to the dentist.

lucklybear lol at the cricket comment! its not that bad!

if you want to get good at something you have to practice as tony would say! trust me its more fun playing than watching!

dude i've got the perfect pushup bars that i got for ridiculously cheap will try them tonite! want to climb on sunday so might take it easy and not push myself too much! hows your progress going i am gonna check out the group in a bit!

Try pushup bars.I broke my wrist when i was 12 falling off the roof of my house.Compound fracture in 2 places bone ripped outta my wrist and just did miss my artery.Sometimes when it is cold and i do pushups it hurts pretty bad and i use my pushup bars to get me through.

I agree with everyone. I do push-ups on my knuckles or wrap my wrist. I sometimes have to do Yoga on my knuckles or with a pushup bar because my they hurt to bad.
