    Yeah :3 Just based on teaching people to do various chest exercises, wrist pain is usually caused by holding the implement too far up the hand, creating a moment arm that bends your wrist open. Around 150-200lbs is usually when people stop being able to tolerate such a grip

    If you search this page for “bench grip” it will take you to an image of three hands, the rightmost of which has a red line and a green line. Best image I’ve ever found for communicating the spot. If you get it down you should feel no discomfort at all in your wrists
