Sorry I've been posting so much haha! Anyways, some of you may know already I recently just moved up to my gyms Xcel Platinum team. I went from training 2x a week with 2.5 hour practices to 3x a week with 4 hour practices. I just finished my second week and my wrists feel broken. Everything that requires weight on my hands is painful and becoming hard to do. Last week it was mainly vault and floor, but this week my beam is being effected. I couldn't do a walkover without shaking my wrists out and feeling pain. Also, I've been using tape every practice. I should mention our conditioning and warmups require a lot of bounce straddle handstands. So, I was considering buying tiger paws but I wasn't sure if my wrists are just adjusting to the extended gym time and more demanding exercises/skills or if I really need the support. I've heard once you get them there is no going back so I don't want to hinder my wrist from getting strong.
Btw, I'm 17, 5'5, and weigh 130 lbs. I've been a gymnast for 3 years now and had minor wrist problems in the beginning.
Thanks!
