I have a permanent wrist injury, so can only do knuckle pushups, where the wrist is not bent. Would these work for me?

I'm 78 and have no cartilage left in my wrists and thumbs. With the Perfect Pushup Elite I am able to do yoga poses like plank and downward facing dog that I otherwise have to do on my fists or forearms. It's really a very well made, first rate product.

I would say yes if your wrap your wrists, i do because i have similar problem

Perfect Pushups would be good for that because you will use the same concept of knuckle pushups without your knuckles on the ground/floor. I decided to give them a try, due to a shoulder injury and they provide better grip and stability for working on pushups while recovering from an injury.

Though not a doctor or physical therapist I can tell you that I would bet you'd be fine. There is no wrist bending with these. As long as you can make a fist you should be fine. I like these a lot because of the fact that it doesn't put undue pressure on the wrists. Hope that helps.

No. That I strut the only flaw that I have found with them. I have carpal tunnel and have quite a bit of discomfort in my wrist while lifting... These cloves are fantastic for protecting your palms from callouses, but there is NO wrist support.

It'd work for any exercise that needs wrist support but I'd advise getting a thumb loop style wrist wrap

I haven't used them for that, but they would definitely help provide extra wrist support.

You could probably hold them in your hands and work your wrists, but I am not sure it would be better than a small free weight.

I think they are large enough to fit a good sized wrist. Of course, I must add that I have much smaller than normal wrists. I find that I cannot get them on tight enough to keep them from sliding up and down while exercising. That might not be the case with the short distance from plate to mouth. It's worth a try and that's a very good thought.

I would not. I'm a large male. They are still pretty long for my wrists. However, the longer they are, the tighter you can wrap them for support. Sometimes they choke the life out of my wrists. I only wrap them super tight before a super heavy set then unwrap them between sets to get the blood going again. Works well for me...the tightness gives me great support where I'm not relying own my wrist muscles as much for heavy weight.

These gloves are designed to prevent spraining your wrist. Your thumbs are not restricted so they could, depending how you fall get 'pulled back'. They are covered part way from abrasions but not sprains.

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

You can definitely still do pushups with the wraps on. The wraps just give extra support, they really don't impact your range of motion at all.

They's great for working in tight places where a wrench might slip and you'd normally bust a knuckle open without them. If you must punch something, they are rubber and would hurt the other guy more than you. If you want workout gloves, these are not what you're looking for.

Before using these, and I still do, I use vinyl-covered hex-ended dumbells to do pushups with mostly in fitness classes and at the gym. Personally it is more comfortable to be able to put your hands at an angle that you like or want to work with. I have sort of bad wrists, and doing pushups with my hands flat on the ground is not comfortable for more than a few pushups. I can do far more with my hands wrapped around a handle like these or on dumbells.

"Yes" and "no". "Yes", working out heavy duty, practice for the actual self - defense. Plus prevents any possible hand and wrist injuries. Ligaments and tendons brusing. "No", light duty workouts. Proper techniques, especially "hooks", on all punches use the "index" & "middle" fingers' knuckles. Hooks - fist / punches in a vertical. In an angled fist, the "ring" & "pinky" knuckles may fracture to the meta carpal (top of the hand - wrist to the knuckles. It will swell up and pain), also known as "Boxer 's Fracture". Research in Youtube for proper techniques, wrist (straight), forearm (leveled), hip (are in torque motion), feet (pivot on the balls of your feet), & hand (proper technique & position). Be safe, have fun, prevent any possible injuries to you & other. All about being / staying healthy & having fun. Enjoy. : )

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

They are definitely stable enough, but I find them uncomfortable to do push-ups because my wrists/forearm start to scrape against the square weights and the wrist guards (the two other columns besides the handle).
