- What's up elite THENX athletes, it's Chris Heria.
Welcome to another video of Official THENX.
Today we're gonna show you why you need
to train with wrist wraps and how to use them.
Let's get started.
(slow tempo house music)
All right. So let's get started.
Today I'm going to show you why you need
to train with wrist wraps and how to use them.
Wrist wraps are used for extra wrist support.
Extra wrist support is going to increase your ability
to support more wrist pressure.
That's gonna mean more reps, longer holds, heavier lifts,
increased stability, and of course healthier joints.
Having this wrist wrap here to support your wrists
is gonna keep your wrist really, really straight.
When your wrist is really straight,
really supported like this, it's tight and braced.
It's gonna allow you to do more repetitions.
Normally, when you're working out you're joints tend
to give out before your muscles do.
So having these is gonna allow you to focus more
on the repetitions allowing you to get more reps in there.
Normally, when doing stabilizing exercises
such as handstands you work a lot of that wrist
and it takes a lot of wrist stability and pressure
to be able to get a nice clean handstand.
These wrist wraps are gonna keep your wrist super straight,
so even if you feel like wobbling a little bit,
it's gonna give that extra support.
It's gonna feel a lot easier to balance
in your handstand or any other stabilization exercises.
It's also gonna allow you to lift heavier because it has
a brace around your wrist, a support around your wrist.
Kind of like when you see power lifters using a weight belt
to help lift heavier weights, this is the same thing.
It's like a mini weight belt for your wrists
so it's gonna allow you to have more pressure
on your wrists, heavier lifts, longer holds, and more reps.
And of course it's a lot healthier on your joints.
When doing exercises involving joints
and tendons, you want to make sure
that you're also always protecting your joints.
Having healthy joints, you're gonna be able
to progress a lot safer, a lot easier,
you're not gonna hit that plateau because you're injured.
So wearing these is gonna support your wrists.
It's gonna prevent injury by keeping your wrists straight,
no matter what, and not allowing
to bend your wrist passed where it's supposed to.
All right, so now we're gonna do a whole-body workout
that incorporates all the topics we just covered.
We're gonna show you how
to apply them with different exercises.
So the first exercise is gonna be handstand hold.
Then, we're gonna go into 90 degree pushups.
After, we're gonna go for explosive muscle-ups.
Then, we're gonna go into deadlifts.
Next, we have one arm pullups.
After, we have explosive pushups.
And then we're gonna finish off with single arm L-sit hold.
So you guys ready? Let's go for it.
The first one, we have handstand hold.
We're gonna warmup, so when doing this move
with the wrist wraps you want to make sure
to just loosen them a little bit, and the way
that you can loosen them is just take a nice little grip,
and then just twist them the opposite way
to where you feel loose.
See, so we're gonna loosen them up a little bit.
And the reason why is because when we're putting our palms
down on the ground you want to give enough mobility
in your wrists to be able to be just like this
and not have it like squeezing your wrist, okay.
So we're gonna give it a little bit of space so we can move.
Let's go for this handstand hold.
(slow instrumental hip-hop music)
(breathes deeply)
All right. That was a nice little warmup.
Now, we get the workout started.
So next, we're gonna go into 90 degree pushups.
Now, this is an advanced move.
We're not gonna show you guys how to do this move.
If you want to learn all the other moves go onto thenx.com
and become a member to learn all these.
Right now we're gonna go into 90 degree pushups.
So now here we're holding onto a bar.
Now you want to tighten this so hold it a little bit
and just go like that, you'll feel it tighten up.
So now that it's tighter,
you'll be able to have a more solid, more stable grip.
Now, if you try to put your hand back down on the floor,
you're gonna feel a lot of pressure right here.
So if you're gonna do more open-hand floor style moves,
you want to then loosen it back up a little bit.
But we're gonna keep it nice and tight.
(breathes deeply) Let's go into 90 degree pushups.
(slow instrumental hip-hop music)
Oh yeah, all right.
Oh my gosh. That was intense.
Let's move on to the next exercise.
(breathes deeply)
So now we have explosive muscle-ups.
So a lot of times when you're doing bar movements,
explosive bar movements, just having that grip,
that's where you first give out, you know.
And then it's the muscle, right?
But just even hanging feels hard.
Having these wraps on is gonna allow you
to keep a stronger grip, it's gonna be more comfortable.
It's gonna have support for your wrists,
you're gonna be able to hang like it's nothing.
All right, so now we're gonna put these wrist wraps
and grip strength to the test with this next exercise.
Make sure you loosen a little bit,
so you can have some mobility in that wrist.
Let's go for some explosive muscle-ups.
(heavy instrumental hip-hop music)
(exhales deeply)
Yep. I think they work, that's enough jumping around.
Let's move on to the next exercise.
Next, we have deadlifts.
All right let's go for this.
So like I said, having this wrist support
is gonna help you lift more,
it's gonna be more comfortable when you lift especially.
Of course, this is gonna make you do more reps.
You'll be able to lift longer and everything like that.
You're gonna get addicted to having them on.
So don't forget that when you make those new gains,
take them off and try to adjust them to your natural wrist
because you want to make sure
that you're strengthening your wrists too.
So if you're doing something like deadlift,
you start to lift heavier more consistently
and you're adding more reps as well,
take them off and try to do the same thing.
Once you've mastered it with it off, put it back on again
and keep making those gains, making those progress.
So now we're gonna go for some deadlifts.
Now, to build more strength you want
to go for three to five reps,
so we're gonna go for a three to five rep range.
(uptempo house music)
(weight crashes) (breathes deeply)
Okay. (breathes deeply)
We're almost to the end, next we have one arm pullups.
Let's go for it.
(uptempo house music)
(uptempo house music) (moves into heavy house music)
One more each.
(heavy house music)
Oh yeah.
All right, now we have explosive pushups.
(breathes heavily) Let's go for it.
So normally, this is another move right here,
people do this or they don't like to do it
because they feel like that explosiveness
is too much pressure in their wrists.
So this is definitely gonna help a lot.
Make sure now, you loosen it a little bit
so you have more wrist mobility, you can put
your hand down flat comfortably.
All right explosive pushups, here we go.
(heavy house music)
All right. (breathes heavily)
See, the best part about that
is I can focus on doing more reps.
I don't have to worry about that wrist pain
because this keeps my wrists straight.
All right. We're gonna go for the last move.
Single arm L-sit hold.
You ready for this? Let's go for it.
(heavy instrumental hip-hop music)
(breathes deeply)
All right, so there you have it.
That's the end of the routine.
If you can do this routine three rounds you're a beast.
But this is how you use the wrist wraps.
This is why you need to train with the wrist wraps.
It's gonna be a lot easier to make gains, to progress.
And you're gonna not find yourself plateau so often.
It's gonna keep you on the next level.
