Warning: My aching wrists from brake adjustments are history after grip exercises.

Stronger hands mean faster work and no more pain.

That "grip exercises" bit is interesting. What kind are we talking about here? Like, did you use those spring-loaded hand squeezers, or was it more like hanging from a bar? Also, how often did you have to do them before you noticed your wrists stopped hurting during adjustments?

Hey @the_felix, did you try the spring squeezers or just stick to hanging from a bar? I used both but found that hanging helped my wrists feel more stable under pressure. It took about three weeks of doing grip exercises every other day before I noticed less pain during adjustments. What was your experience like, and did you add any wrist stretches to your routine? Does the kind of work you do make a difference in which exercises help the most?

For the spring squeezers, I did them daily for two weeks before my wrists felt better.
