Wrist Support

    Do any of you have any recommendations for wrist support? I sprained my wrist about 6 weeks ago. It's fine now but is a little painful when I twist it in certain directions. For example, I wouldn't find pain when O/H Pressing, Bench Pressing, etc. but I would sometimes when doing something as simple as putting my arm through the sleeve of a jumper.

    I'm worried that the lifting is impeding my recovery and would like to add some form of wrist support. I'm always of the opinion that if you buy right, you buy once so it doesn't matter if it's pretty expensive.

    I like the Titan 24" wraps.
    You can get them from jackalsgym.com

    Shipping is reasonable too

    No matter what way I put on my wrist wraps (except for warpping them so loose as to be nearly pointless) it seems to trap a nerve or something in between my thumb and index, giving me ridiculous shocking pains at unpredictable times. Don't want to know what happens under a heavy bar with that coming on suddenly.
    Anyone had experience with this?

    Boxing wraps are an option as there is more scope to wrap where you want as opposed to an all emcompassing 'powerlifting' wrap.
