Same, and to any reader, make the switch to neutral grip on your presses _before_ you have wrist pain.

  Can you elaborate on neutral grip presses? Not sure what that looks like.

    Essentially, palms inward instead of downward. It's the natural position your arms are rotated when at your sides.

      I misspoke a bit — I specifically was referring to a neutral wrist position when pressing (be it bench, overhead, pushes) w/r/t extension. I’ve seen excessive wrist extension in these movements cause repetitive strain injuries, in my case they lessened significantly when switching to a neutral wrist angle. I’d imagine flexion also ain’t great to press with, but excessive extension seems to be way more common (and in common push up technique, the norm)
