Any idea how to avoid a painful wrist after doing curls? [View all]

I’m only using 5 lbs and am trying very hard to go slow and keep a neutral wrist. Trainers (grad students) weren’t a lot of help. I do 30 min of aerobics 3x week and 30 min strength/weights 2x week (building strength/stamina back after cancer treatment and trying to regain tighter control of my blood sugar and blood pressure). Maybe I should back off a set and go back to 1 set of 10 instead of 2 sets. It’s my 4th week and we just bumped it up to 2 sets. I thought I was ready. I feel a slight burn with the last two or 3 curls, so I think I’m where I should be.

Anybody have any pointers?

Tonight I’ve “Absorbine Jr’d” both wrists 😩
