@Buff: we're probably doing exercises wrong, leading to the wrist pain.

@Arch: Thanks for the suggestions, but it's definitely my wrists and not my forearms that are giving me trouble. I think barbell presses have contributed to the pain in my wrists, as I tend to workout without a spotter and it's a lot of strain to get the weights up to start. I'm going to try the plate pinch if my wrists can handle it, they look like they'd do my forearms some good.
