Wrist Pain With Biceps Curl Exercises: What Causes It And What To Do About It

For those of you who lift weights, Jeff is a good trainer to listen to. In this video he describes a type of wrist pain that's common to weight lifters involving the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex, which includes cartilage and ligaments that are sometimes strained and torn.

• From playing tennis or golf?
• From computer use?
• OR from heavy, physical work?
