I tried this for a week and my wrist pains are gone and the best part is I am able to lift heavier weights in all my exercises. I was stuck on same weights for almost 45 days and wasn't able to increase weights but this did the trick in just one week. Thanks doc. Strong hands wrists and forearms are most important for any heavy weight training exercises.
blackzar09 you really think ppl are that ugly even on the internet? Ok that was dumb exactly here are the most ppl sad/loveless because no one can see they and they in safety.. but i hope thats not the case..
When I try to do push-ups today my wrist really hurts. These exercises felt really good on them. I'm going to take a break from push-ups while I do these. I'm so glad you made this video
@@PerfectlyPedanticPokemonPlayer does your wrist break when hitting with a straight punch? Mine does since I usually don't use punches when I fight so I hope these exercises will help me with that since I need to diversify my skills
My grandson suggested that I build up my wrists. I’m 83+ but haven’t stopped working out and my 2 kids and 4 grandkids followed! Love your video and plan to add it to my workout routine. Thank you! You’re a wonderful man to do this in addition to your work as a doctor, as I’m sure it will help me and many others!

+Dr Levi Harrison Firstly, that video is extremely well made, thank you. Secondly, I injured my right wrist and elbow while snowboarding nearly a year ago. My wrist took the direct impact and extended while one of the two bones in my forearm that connect at the elbow got dislocated. For the most part, it is ok now but I do not have full motion like I had previously, or compared to my left arm. While doing the exercise in which I extend my wrists upward I can really feel the restriction of motion, the right wrist cannot get as vertical as the left, and my ring finger stops moving an inch before all the others. Is there anything I can do to help try and get the full motion back?
+Dr Levi Harrison I really like this video, my wrist is too weak, when im playing basketball my shots, passes are short and slow. is this can help me to increase my range? thanks alot.
This is such a great walk through me and my artist friends all have wrist problems and I have and will continue to recommend this whenever someone I know complains about wrist problems
Just found your channel! Thank you so much for these very helpful exercises! Im 70 years old and trying to build strength in my arms, wrist, and fingers! Pray much success in your practice! 💯❣

I've had some sort of residual forearm and thumb pain since rock climbing in a gym a few months back. These exercises today are hitting every sore/tight spot! Thanks and God Bless You for sharing these simple stretches and strengthening exercises! I think I can head down the road to recovery now from forearm tendonitis. -Stu RN
I been experiencing some minor wrist pain while drumming recently, it's definitely an outcome of repetition. I've been playing the drums for 9 years now and I've never really worked out my wrists, forearms or hands. This is probably exactly what I need. I'm going to start this right now and I'll see if I feel better in 2 to 3 weeks. wish me luck! I'm hoping for the best.
+Krzi yeah, have you seen any improvement? Did your wrist become bigger or thick or both? :P I'm starting today with these excercises, and I would be so happy if they pay off!
+TasosEG I was able to see tremendous improvements with my wrist pain. It's difficult to do at first when you start off you'll feel sore and almost feel like you have tennis elbow, but after you get over that I definitely can say that this is one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Just start slow and keep doing it. Goodluck!
Dr. Harrison, thank you for sharing these exercises. After using these exercises I'm now able to play much longer guitar practice sessions. Certain techniques such as barre chords and licks in which long stretches are required were just killing my wrist, as well as risking tendonitis. I'm blown away by the degree to which these exercises have improved my stamina.
Thanks so much for this outstanding presentation, Dr. Levi. Since I am a performing pianist the hands, wrists, and forearms are used in playing the great classical literature. Many piano concertos last for 30 minutes, some even longer. These exercises have helped me immensely. ❤️🎹🙏
I do these plus the wrist twist: while resting your forearm on your thighs, hold the dumbbell vertical and turn the wrist from -90deg through +90 deg and back (like turning a key) for a count of 1. Then repeat for a count of 2 and so on. Do 3 sets of 20. Do this one slowly and don't be tempted to use heavy weights in the beginning. ALWAYS, "Reps rule Weight" - unless you're into body building. Best wishes.
Last night I was literally about to burst into tears because of my wrist pain, so I watched your video and practiced at the same time and today my pain is gone, needless to say, this pain was chronic and I had no idea what to do in order to fix it. Thank you so much doctor.
this gave me hope for my wrist pain.. i hurt my wrist from benching over a month ago but because I am dumb I decided to keep benching through the pain and now I think I messed it up more. I am still benching but being more careful with my wrist. I am excited to do this tomorrow
Him Downstairs Take care you don't wrench him right off, imagine explaining that to staff at the hospital. I lie on my hand until it falls asleep and them pretend someone else is doing it to me.
Fantastic video, Dr. Harrison! I just found this video and I'm at my desk (at work) trying out these first 4 exercises and come to the realization that I've been seriously neglecting my forearms! Super informative and super-accessible explanations. You got yourself a new subscriber!
I started riding bicycle to help improve my cardio and expand my lung capacity so I can smoke more weed. I started to exercise my hands so I have more control over my piano playing. My meaningless life makes perfect sense finally.
I am a gamer. But I recently broke my right ring finger and injured my left wrist( At a school camp) My wrist and and forearm feels great after doing these exercises One question tho. My wrists (especially my left) keeps popping during the exercises. It doesn't really hurt but I'm afraid of injuring it again. Is the popping normal or should I stop?
Hi Theophilus, Often, popping in the joint is due to nitrogen bubbles, which are being released in the joint. This is usually not a problem, especially since you don't have pain. Consult with your doctor just to be evaluated clinically. I wish you the best. Keep on exercising!
+Spenser T Why is that "LOL"? By telling Levi Harrison he's a gamer he knows which motions he's doing with his wrists. Like he said, the exercises are for a lot of different people.
thank you so much! I’m an artist and injured both my wrists as a kid so now I have super weak and thin wrists and hands that hurt whenever I lift something heavy, do weird movements, etc. this helps a lot! thanks very much :)
Every few months my left arm/wrist/hand grows feeble and a bit sore. I was worried it might be carpal tunnel, but my doctor said it looks more like a simple repetitive strain injury. I work at a computer all day and when I'm not, one of my hobbies is gaming. It's definitely an issue caused from typing excessively. Would these exercises help to prevent something like a repetitive strain injury?
Dr. Levi, these is what I was looking for. I can’t get up if I’m on the ground because of weak hands,wrist and forearms. It is knowing that I am so vulnerable. I’m excited to begin doing the exercise. The big bonus or icing on the cake is that you are easy on the eyes. Thank you in advance.
Hello! I am 21 y.o. and i have wrist arthrosis. Doctor says there is no soulution for healing it and I will never be able to work out again. He also says it can get only worse. Sport was my life and now I am not able to stay in shape for the rest of my life. Why god, why.
Hi Dr. Harrison. Thank you for this video. Im a Massage Therapist and found this very helpful. I have passed this video to clients, coworkers, and Cosmetologist.
My wrist been bothering me from playing a lot of tennis.. i pulled up three other instructors on Utube so glad i chose you I will incorporate these great exercises in my routines thank you so much well appreciated 😊
Explosive Bolts Freedom of speech is a tenant of the Liberalism ideology. I think you're confusing liberals like me, bill maher, sam harris and richard dawkin. The regressive left are leftists who are not progressive, but regressive. Sjws, feminazis and so on.
I'm a cellist and have been struggling lately with weak and tired hands/fingers. I will most definitely be adding these to my routine to help my playing and prevent injuries!
Physical therapists and personal trainers find that there is a lot of money to be made needlessly over complicating their information and techniques, Much of the information you find when you type in "hand and wrist exercises" into google is mostly the same with the major difference being the "fluff" surrounding the information in question. This video is a good example of a Doctor presenting only the relevant information with a minimum of "fluff" which is probably one of the reasons this video has almost a million views. Kudos to you Doctor Harrison.
I'm an ophthalmic technician and my wrists are horrible because of the way I have to use my hands and wrists at work and this video is going to literally save my life and my career. I've only done these once and I can already feel so much relief. Thank you!!
I had a serious injury to my left arm and elbow as a result of a fall from a ladder. There was muscle and nerve damage and my arm withered away. These exercises look like they will do the trick on rebuilding muscles and strength in my arm. Physical therapy only took me so far and I feel these exercises will definitely take me to the next step in my rehab efforts for the next 6-9 months. GREAT INFO YOU PROVIDED DOC!
@@sanarehan3712 Am I recovered? Well, I am no where near I was before she accident. The arm injury was just one of many injuries sustained in the fall. Being in my 70s now, I have lost a lot of strength due to the accident and persistent back pain issues and I am sedentary a lot of the time because of the back pain. Surgery on the back is not an option since last time around it only made matters worse. My primary care, neurologist and pain management Drs all suggested to stay away from the OR. So I live life via modern chemistry; which isn’t good either.
You are a life saver Doctor! With the Virus I cannot work out and pulled a wrist muscle getting my German Shepherd into the car! Bought some weights yesterday and will use them tonight! God Bless 🙏
Thank to for this amazing video! Saved me from wrist pain that’s been bothering me for a year being a new mom. I’ve tried a lot of vids to stretch my wrist, yoga, and even acupuncture, nothing seemed to work for me. Today I just did this exercise for the first time and i actually feel stronger on my forearm and very little pain on my wrist. Now I know I have to strengthen my muscles to prevent injuries like this! Thank you so much doctor 🙏
I am looking forward to a rock climbing trip this spring. Haven't climbed in years so these exercises are now apart of my prep routines. Thank you for providing clear instructions.
Awesome video. Really enjoy his demeanor and delivery. The tutorial is well planned, produced and so easy to follow. So many content providers blast through everything or get caught up in their "man speak" that it's hard to follow. Thank you Dr. Levi.
Thanks Doc. I had some muscle damaged wound from heavy bag punching and I was trying hard to restore my strength. weight training alone didnt seem to help a lot, and this routine looks awesome. thanks really!
I'm musician/programmer/calisthenics practioner recovering from tendonitis via physiotherapy. Now, I'm gonna add these exercises to my routine. Thanks Dr Levi Harrison!!
Thanks, Doc! 🙏 After one treatment my wrists and arms already feel better. I’m glad I caught it before it got worse. God bless you and the ones you love.

I been experiencing some minor wrist pain while drumming recently, it's definitely an outcome of repetition. I've been playing the drums for 9 years now and I've never really worked out my wrists, forearms or hands. This is probably exactly what I need. I'm going to start this right now and I'll see if I feel better in 2 to 3 weeks.
wish me luck! I'm hoping for the best.
+Krzi what are the results?
+Krzi yeah, have you seen any improvement?
Did your wrist become bigger or thick or both? :P
I'm starting today with these excercises, and I would be so happy if they pay off!
+TasosEG I was able to see tremendous improvements with my wrist pain. It's difficult to do at first when you start off you'll feel sore and almost feel like you have tennis elbow, but after you get over that I definitely can say that this is one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Just start slow and keep doing it. Goodluck!
Krzi thank you so much for sharing this.
I really appreciate it :D
as a bowler with a long term hand/wrist injury... this has been a complete game changer! Thank you so much
My mom entered the room while doing these 1:45 .
then she left the room.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂😂👌
You are blessing! I’m glad I found your video. I’m 67 and I like to strengthen my wrists and arms to free from arthritis pains. Thank you!
Thank you finally I found someone just to the point 🥰thanks Doc God bless you so much
Dr. Harrison, thank you for sharing these exercises. After using these exercises I'm now able to play much longer guitar practice sessions. Certain techniques such as barre chords and licks in which long stretches are required were just killing my wrist, as well as risking tendonitis. I'm blown away by the degree to which these exercises have improved my stamina.

Thank you so much I am going to start doing this everyday. Have had wrist pain for a year now.
How did it go? in the same boat as you atm.
I am very insecure about my extremely small wrists and hand/fingers, so I will definitely try these exercises out! Thank you Dr Levi 😄
Yeah that's right but I guess as the forearms gets stronger, the wrist will get aswell. Not bigger, but stronger.
Sharon Acevedo-Cicala Any results? 😊
results?
Thanks so much for this outstanding presentation, Dr. Levi. Since I am a performing pianist the hands, wrists, and forearms are used in playing the great classical literature. Many piano concertos last for 30 minutes, some even longer. These exercises have helped me immensely. ❤️🎹🙏
I do these plus the wrist twist: while resting your forearm on your thighs, hold the dumbbell vertical and turn the wrist from -90deg through +90 deg and back (like turning a key) for a count of 1. Then repeat for a count of 2 and so on. Do 3 sets of 20. Do this one slowly and don't be tempted to use heavy weights in the beginning. ALWAYS, "Reps rule Weight" - unless you're into body building. Best wishes.

Last night I was literally about to burst into tears because of my wrist pain, so I watched your video and practiced at the same time and today my pain is gone, needless to say, this pain was chronic and I had no idea what to do in order to fix it. Thank you so much doctor.
this gave me hope for my wrist pain.. i hurt my wrist from benching over a month ago but because I am dumb I decided to keep benching through the pain and now I think I messed it up more. I am still benching but being more careful with my wrist. I am excited to do this tomorrow
These exercises have taken masturbation to another level!
Thanks Dr Levi!
lmao!!!
lol xo
Dude....he said 5, 10 up to maybe 20 lbs. You're dreaming.

Take care you don't wrench him right off, imagine explaining that to staff at the hospital.
I lie on my hand until it falls asleep and them pretend someone else is doing it to me.
Fantastic video, Dr. Harrison! I just found this video and I'm at my desk (at work) trying out these first 4 exercises and come to the realization that I've been seriously neglecting my forearms! Super informative and super-accessible explanations. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Make more workout videos, you’re great !
Love this thank you. I am 53 and I want to Protect my wrists and make them stronger 🙏
4:00 my forearm keeps sliding off my stick like thigh 🤣
looks like you need to do some strength training for that too then :D
@@cheweek-k4w 🙂bin working on it for the past few months
As a .massage therapist, I really value and appreciate this!!! Thank you
1. came here for valve guides
after watching vid: dont skip leg day
I'm a drummer and I need to build strength in my weak hand to help improve my stick control. Thanks for this.
I came here watching that school boy who defeats every person in hand wrestling
Oh great bro i came here because i get bullied
I think the sport is called arm wrestling
@@adamread7507 yeah bro it's called arm wrestling
I have had a weak left wrist for years after a bad sprain, been doing this work out now for 4 weeks and iam so happy with the process thanks loads 👊🏻
Are you revovered from sprain?
@@sanarehan3712 yep thanks
@@jamescruickshanks5755 how you recoverd how much time it take ?
I started riding bicycle to help improve my cardio and expand my lung capacity so I can smoke more weed. I started to exercise my hands so I have more control over my piano playing. My meaningless life makes perfect sense finally.
Withme Whostoned Me too , but I added swimming under water so I could keep the puffs in for longer.
Thank you so much. I hate doing push-ups, planks, etc because my wrists always are so painful. I've added these to my warm up!
I am a gamer. But I recently broke my right ring finger and injured my left wrist( At a school camp)
My wrist and and forearm feels great after doing these exercises
One question tho. My wrists (especially my left) keeps popping during the exercises. It doesn't really hurt but I'm afraid of injuring it again. Is the popping normal or should I stop?
Hi Theophilus,
Often, popping in the joint is due to nitrogen bubbles, which are being released in the joint. This is usually not a problem, especially since you don't have pain. Consult with your doctor just to be evaluated clinically. I wish you the best. Keep on exercising!
Dr Levi Harrison Thanks!
+Theophilus Martus Goh "i am a gamer" LOL
+Spenser T Why is that "LOL"? By telling Levi Harrison he's a gamer he knows which motions he's doing with his wrists. Like he said, the exercises are for a lot of different people.
Video Gaming isn't exercise. It has never been. In fact it's the opposite. being a gamer is nothing more than a personal hobby.
thank you so much! I’m an artist and injured both my wrists as a kid so now I have super weak and thin wrists and hands that hurt whenever I lift something heavy, do weird movements, etc. this helps a lot! thanks very much :)
Every few months my left arm/wrist/hand grows feeble and a bit sore. I was worried it might be carpal tunnel, but my doctor said it looks more like a simple repetitive strain injury. I work at a computer all day and when I'm not, one of my hobbies is gaming. It's definitely an issue caused from typing excessively.
Would these exercises help to prevent something like a repetitive strain injury?
like exactly why i am here
He literally said its for you. And yes it would. Also you should search fore arm wrist and hand massages
I play the guitar and I really needed these exercises. Thank you Dr. Harrison.
*Mr. Healthy Happy Stick Body xD*
The first Google search result was spot on. This video is very clear and instructive. Thank you!
Will this help if I have been have wrist tendinitis pain from gaming and computer usage for the last year?
William Boos yes
Any update? Looking for some success stories
Dr. Levi, these is what I was looking for. I can’t get up if I’m on the ground because of weak hands,wrist and forearms.
It is knowing that I am so vulnerable. I’m excited to begin doing the exercise.
The big bonus or icing on the cake is that you are easy on the eyes.
Thank you in advance.
Hello! I am 21 y.o. and i have wrist arthrosis. Doctor says there is no soulution for healing it and I will never be able to work out again. He also says it can get only worse. Sport was my life and now I am not able to stay in shape for the rest of my life. Why god, why.
livem check out the stretches on his channel and see if it helps. Greets and peace
i feel you it has been 6 -7 yeats out the game for me

Explosive Bolts Nah, i'm liberal. Therefore i believe in free speech aswell.
What year are you living in where liberals still believe in free speech?
Explosive Bolts Freedom of speech is a tenant of the Liberalism ideology.
I think you're confusing liberals like me, bill maher, sam harris and richard dawkin.
The regressive left are leftists who are not progressive, but regressive.
Sjws, feminazis and so on.
I'm a cellist and have been struggling lately with weak and tired hands/fingers. I will most definitely be adding these to my routine to help my playing and prevent injuries!
Physical therapists and personal trainers find that there is a lot of money to be made needlessly over complicating their information and techniques, Much of the information you find when you type in "hand and wrist exercises" into google is mostly the same with the major difference being the "fluff" surrounding the information in question. This video is a good example of a Doctor presenting only the relevant information with a minimum of "fluff" which is probably one of the reasons this video has almost a million views. Kudos to you Doctor Harrison.
Who tf would even dislike this vid,like this guy is so clear and he is only trying to help people.
I'm an ophthalmic technician and my wrists are horrible because of the way I have to use my hands and wrists at work and this video is going to literally save my life and my career. I've only done these once and I can already feel so much relief. Thank you!!
I had a serious injury to my left arm and elbow as a result of a fall from a ladder. There was muscle and nerve damage and my arm withered away. These exercises look like they will do the trick on rebuilding muscles and strength in my arm.
Physical therapy only took me so far and I feel these exercises will definitely take me to the next step in my rehab efforts for the next 6-9 months. GREAT INFO YOU PROVIDED DOC!
Are you recovered?
@@sanarehan3712 Am I recovered? Well, I am no where near I was before she accident. The arm injury was just one of many injuries sustained in the fall. Being in my 70s now, I have lost a lot of strength due to the accident and persistent back pain issues and I am sedentary a lot of the time because of the back pain. Surgery on the back is not an option since last time around it only made matters worse. My primary care, neurologist and pain management Drs all suggested to stay away from the OR. So I live life via modern chemistry; which isn’t good either.
@@jarmstrong2843 may you blessed with good health pray for me also
You are a life saver Doctor! With the Virus I cannot work out and pulled a wrist muscle getting my German Shepherd into the car! Bought some weights yesterday and will use them tonight! God Bless 🙏
I'm a guitarist and I'm going to start to do this exercises. Well, at least the first three of them, as I don't have weights. Thank you, Dr. Harrison!
thank you Dr.Harrison. I had a wrist pain while playing guitar. this exercises helped me with this issue a lot. thanks a thousand.
Thank to for this amazing video! Saved me from wrist pain that’s been bothering me for a year being a new mom. I’ve tried a lot of vids to stretch my wrist, yoga, and even acupuncture, nothing seemed to work for me.
Today I just did this exercise for the first time and i actually feel stronger on my forearm and very little pain on my wrist. Now I know I have to strengthen my muscles to prevent injuries like this! Thank you so much doctor 🙏
I am looking forward to a rock climbing trip this spring. Haven't climbed in years so these exercises are now apart of my prep routines. Thank you for providing clear instructions.
Thank you Dr. Harrison. This is exactly what I have been needing.
Awesome video. Really enjoy his demeanor and delivery. The tutorial is well planned, produced and so easy to follow. So many content providers blast through everything or get caught up in their "man speak" that it's hard to follow.
Thank you Dr. Levi.
I’ve been experiencing wrist pains with violin playing lately so this is great! Thank you!
Advice from a doctor is way better than those toxic influencers. Thanks Doc. :)
Thanks Doc. I had some muscle damaged wound from heavy bag punching and I was trying hard to restore my strength. weight training alone didnt seem to help a lot, and this routine looks awesome. thanks really!
I'm musician/programmer/calisthenics practioner recovering from tendonitis via physiotherapy. Now, I'm gonna add these exercises to my routine. Thanks Dr Levi Harrison!!
Any update? i'm looking for success stories
Thank you, Dr. Harrison! These exercises will help me in my recovery from a workplace injury.
Thanks, Doc! 🙏 After one treatment my wrists and arms already feel better. I’m glad I caught it before it got worse. God bless you and the ones you love.
This was amazing. I've always been strong and muscular but I've struggled due to having fragile hands and wrists
