Grip strength isn’t just for aerialists! Our program builds wrist & elbow health for H2H, handstands & tumbling 💪🖐️

💥 Comment GRIP to get our FREE Circus Grip Strength Program!
🧠 Co-created with Art Physio, a circus & acrobatics specialist with 20+ years experience.

Here are 3 exercises from our 8-exercise program:

Exercise 1 – Wrist Extensions
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
Hold your arm out parallel to the ground.

- Grip a dumbbell or filled water bottle (1–2L) with your palm facing down.
- Curl your knuckles/fist back towards you.
- Lower to neutral and repeat.

Exercise 2 – Wrist Wave (Prone)
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
- Use a dumbbell similar in grip width to your apparatus.
- Lie on your belly (prone) with arms by your sides, holding the dumbbell vertically with the thumb-side end touching the floor.
- Keep your forearm on the ground and side-flex your wrist to lift the dumbbell off the floor.
- Return to the starting position.
- Keep the dumbbell vertical throughout. Repeat on both hands.

Exercise 3 – Wrist Wave (Supine)
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
- Perform the same movement as the previous exercise, but lying on your back.
- Avoid bending your elbow.
- Follow the same motion path to strengthen the opposite side of the joint.

These are just 3 of the 8 targeted movements in the full program—designed to bulletproof your grip and reduce injury risk for circus artists of all disciplines.

$I am excited to be presenting at the @gymqld Beyond the Routine seminar this Sunday along with other leaders in their field focused on keeping our gymnasts healthy. It is no secret that injury prevention is my passion and I believe that overuse injuries in gymnasts such as lumbar stress fractures and growth plate issues could be significantly reduced with the right athlete management. The presentations are available to Gymnastics Queensland members and I will be talking about load management from 10am to 12pm for coaches and strength and conditioning for athletes at 1pm-3pm. See you online!! by @art.physio$
