When starting to support weight on your hands whether in locomotion, parkour, handstands, or just getting up off the ground, the wrists are going to be the weak link, simply due to lack of loading them.

By starting to load the tissue at end ranges of motion, we are going to not only get more range of motion, but we can start building strength, and then endurance at these ranges as well. By loading the wrist through multiple planes and directions, it can help keep the wrist structurally balanced, and not getting too strong on one side of the joint.

Just like having strong feet provides a foundation for our bipedal locomotion, having strong hands, wrists, and arms provide a foundation for our quadrupedal locomotion, and the ability to support weight and provide stability with the upper body.

In this 1.0 wrist routine, keep it indulgent. It shouldn't be painful. Over time you can increase the pressure, and the intensity, as you learn to have a better FEEL for what the tissue is responding best too. But if you have not done this before, start slow, and as the tissue adapts, you can begin to increase the stimulus.
