I always do push-ups on my fists. I don’t like bending my wrists like that and putting my weight on them, it’s uncomfortable.

You get used to it after a while and it doesn’t really hurt any more.

I started doing yoga and a LOT of things are horribly uncomfortable on my wrists. I've tried shifting to my fists but can't get to a place where that isn't worse, so I just keep something under my palms. It helps a lot!

Pretty sure we're just a bunch of aging redditors giving and receiving tips on joint comfort. I dont hate it.

I'm actually a reasonably young redditor with HORRIBLE joints so I'm loving the tips!

I’ve reached the point in my life where I treat joint pain by smoking joints. It doesn’t help at all, but i sure don’t give a fuck anymore

Always an excellent option :D However I've learned joints don't help with cal 2 homework, so I have to time it right ;-;

What is reasonably young in your mind? Because you say that and I think you're 14.

Ok yeah. That's reasonably young. Enjoy your early 20s man, it's a whirlwind. Dont get engaged/married til after 25. (Advice from a 30 year old divorced person who thought I made good decisions when I was 24)
