Grabbed some 75 lb dumbbells for some shoulder shrugs this evening and immediately felt a pinch on the inside of my right wrist when I grabbed the dumbbell off the rack. Waited a minute, tried to pick it up again, same pinching pain occured. Minute later, grabbed some 50 lb dumbbells and picked them up and was doing shrugs no problem without the wrist pain, completed 4 sets. The weight is not an issue as I have the strength, but something to note is that I do have very skinny wrists. I've used 75 lbs before, dont understand the pain. At any rate, is this a common area and pain...inside of the wrist, below the meat of the thumb? Should I use wrist wraps now that i'm using heavier weight or what can be done to minimize this pain?
