Strength training for breaking? - 08-04-2005, 01:56 AM

I lift a lot and play a lot of sports, and I started breaking a lil bit real recently...
It's quickly become obvious to me that you need strong shoulders, triceps, abs, and chest which I train pretty well already...

My main question was on wrist/forearm strength, though. My wrists are sore as heck after I practice for just like a half hour or an hour. Does weight training forearms help this?
I'm talkin stuff like this...

Or, is it more of an issue that my wrists just aren't used to having to be that flexible and they will work their way up?

Right now I just hit mostly the bigger muscle groups, my workouts look somethin like this each week:
Mon: Bench press, Mil press, tricep exercises, crunches, and maybe some flys
Wed: Bent over rows, lat pulldowns, curls
Fri: Squats, deadlifts, and calf raises, crunches

If any of you guys have some exercises you do that you find to help with breaking, I'd be interested in working a few sets of them into my weight routines... thanks.

Yes, I've ran a search too, just lookin for more imput.

Ask not for tasks equal to your strengths, ask for strength equal to your tasks.

i hurt when i began, but the soreness goes away after a while. u said u started "real recently" and that means ur muscles are getting used to the punishment u are dishin out to them. same thing for any workout. when you start a new workout of a new body part, the body part is sore, but only the first few times.
