Recently I included Barbell Bent Over Rows (Underhand Grip) into my workout routine. When performing them, my wrists are (pretty much) perfectly in line with my forearm at the beginning. But when I'm getting the bar closer to the end of the movement (so closer to my belly) my wrists tend to bend/rotate a little outwards.
Is this alright or am I gripping to wide or narrow? Im worried over damaging my wrists over time.
Potentially gripping too wide, however if this does not cause any pain or discomfort it is likely not going to affect your wrists (but best to sort it out now). It could just be potentially your form but you would have to check this online.
If you watch a form video you can see whether your form is similar and also see the wrists and grip.
