I have small wrists and they get really sore as well. I am using some wrpas to see if that helps. Also, you need to work on your forarms. Do wrist curls as well!

Invest in some inzer wrist wraps. they have helped my wrists a lot

I just use some sports tape and wrap them and sometimes also use wrist wraps, I just get the wraps the boxers use. Also you might want to go with lower weight higher reps for a little bit until your wrists get stronger.

what kind of supps are you taking for your joints?

I have small wrists and they killed doing heavy pressing/curling and powercleans.

When the get too sore I just back off the intensity for a while. I found that high rep 20-100 per set wrist curls stretch out the flexors and pump in fresh blood to the area and work out the scar tissue.

I don't really recommend taping or strapping because they allow you to carry on having weaker wrists Just build up in volume/ intensity at a slower pace to allow the whole body to grow in line.

Would it be smart to run a PH cycle if you have bad wrists, but want to continue training heavy?

If this is a serious question then:

Why not? - they don't really do anything so I can't see how it would hurt.
