Wrist Pain

[louiemina]

Hey guys i have no idea at all on the field of medicine but quick question. Every Wednesday me and my coach decide to go all out. Meaning, I punch with all i got like literally hear an explosion on the pads (mostly hooks and straights). Let's say that my form and the way i hit the pads are correct, no pain during the pad work.

Problem is, the day after my wrist hurts like hell. Considerably a sprained wrist every Wednesday, now We've been doing this for just 4 weeks. The real question is, does the wrist get used to this kind of beating. Or should i just stop with all out power on the pads

You should be fine
Maybe just wrap you're wrist a little tighter or get some good 16 oz gloves. I wouldn't worry about it.

Up your glove weight, and wrap your wrist a bit more as opposed to knuckles

wrap the wrists, get thicker gloves, and it might be worth doing some wrist/forearm strengthening exercises too for the long term. I dont think you can bank on the wrist getting used to that kind of stuff and you risk an overuse injury if you keep doing what you are doing. it will sound less satisfying hitting the pads with thicker gloves, but its going to be even less satisfying if you end up with an injury.

i have wrist pain from boxing, wearing one of those compression bands around your wrist when you're training helps a little, i used to wear one under my wraps, it increases blood flow when you take it off. it seemed to me that i had less pain and it went away sooner when i wore it. at least you should get longer wraps and go around your wrist a few extra times

I used to get it if i hit the heavy bag to much

For some reason as I aged it never happened anymore.

ALso, watch out for shadow boxing to intensely, I almost threw my elbow

It won't get any better but worse. I've experienced it for like a year. Some ppl are just gifted with tiny wrists and your wrists won't muscle up or get bigger, not possible. It's your bone.
I did wrap it with 300cm stuff, plus more padding and the pain was still there. Took me MONTHS away from the gym for it to completely heal.
Cause of the problem: HOOKS, circular punches which requires you to bend your wrist. Hit lighter with them, train hard on shadowboxing.

Nothing to add to the comments above other than make sure your using 5m, good boxing wraps, not some 2m RDX wraps or something like that!

Do some rotator cuff stretches.

Fixed my wrist problem.

I actually just started to get wrist pain, but eliminated it by using wrist wraps real tight during workouts.
