Prerequisites

Wrist conditioning addresses one of the most common limiting factors in bodyweight training—the ability of the wrists to handle load in extended positions. This comprehensive approach combines mobility work, progressive loading, and strengthening exercises to build resilient wrists capable of handling the demands of handstands, planche training, and floor work. Proper wrist preparation prevents the overuse injuries that sideline many practitioners.

Beyond Movement prioritizes wrist health throughout all programming, recognizing that wrist limitations often determine progress in hand balancing and floor skills. Our systematic approach progresses from gentle mobility work to loaded positions, always respecting individual adaptation rates. The time invested in wrist conditioning pays dividends in sustainable long-term practice.

The benefits of dedicated wrist work extend beyond injury prevention to enhanced performance. Strong, mobile wrists allow for better weight distribution in handstands, deeper planche leans, and more comfortable floor work. Office workers find particular value in the exercises, as they counteract the fixed positions common to keyboard use.
