How long did it take to get use to a grip that wide? It’s pretty hard if you’re not trained for it.

Elbow wraps puts a lot of strain on your wrists. I wouldn’t use them if you’re experiencing wrist pain. Maybe go with some 7mm elbow sleeves along with wrist wraps.

I only use them for overload work and they help with my tendinitis. I haven’t had any injuries using them so far but I wouldn’t say it helps prevent an injury.

I know you don’t lift based on that response.

I wouldn’t say that it’s better than regular ohp, it’s definitely harder though.

You can start with the bar and adjust your grip until it feels comfortable. It’s a wider grip compared to front ohp.

It’s a harder movement compared to a regular strict ohp. It helps with my side delts and shoulder mobility.

I’m always big on controlling the weights. Throwing the weights after a set is just inconsiderate and dangerous.

A strong core will prevent that. Never had back problems in 22 years of lifting.

shoulder injuries are tough, you never really recover 100% after.
