back hand springs

does anyone have tricks to strength my wrists? whenever I do back handsprings or any tumble my wrists are in so much pain

Answer #1

Wear wrist guards. They help a lot. I used to do gymnastics and I had a similar problem but with my ankles. So, I wore ankle braces and it was a lot easier. If you want to strengthen your wrists.. try doing some push ups everyday to help your wrists get used to the extra weight being pushed down on them.

Answer #2

I used to do allstar cheer, and our uniforms were longsleeve so a wrist brace bothered me, I used tape, but not like scotch or anything.
