i always wrap my wrists when doing close grip benching for tri's and it helps just dont do it all the time only on the workout that actually needs it... for me its close grip bench press. for others could be reverse curls or whatever else puts alot of stess on ur wrist

To Tsar, when I do pushups, fingers facing forward, my wrist almost collapses, Its hard to describe really, but its like rolling your ankle or something. Idk...

Sounds like your elbows are pointed behind you when you do them. Try it with your elbows pointed to the sides.

Nope, I do regular pushups, more for a warm up exercise. No tricep workout.

Oh....and please....someone explain why wearing a lifting belt on bench helps anything ? They honestly don't even help much at all when doing squats.  |
Thing is that you are supposed to wear a belt pretty tight. Not too tight that you can't breathe but tight enough that when you push your abs out it makes your whole midsection more stable. I use a belt all the time for heavy exercises. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you do other assitance work. On the bench... not 100% sure, but for people who bench heavy and have to arch their back (to get their legs into it etc) it maintains stability and prevents injury.

The only time wearing a belt while benching is if you gotta hold your shirt down, otherwise like bill said for stability...
