My left wrist hurts while training

Them wrists need both rest for a while AND to be worked.

rested by replacing potential strenious exercises, like
- barbell curl with straight bar : > ez barbell curl
- pushdown with straight bar: V-shape bar
- heavy dips, heavy benchpresses, do pre-exhaustion sets for a while, this will lower the weight you will be able to bench (hence less joint stress) while still stimulating the pec.

REST is one thing but need to strengthen them as well to minimize future annoyance, Heavy wrist curls generate a lot of torque forces on the joint , so these are out of the question, until they are up to par again, but here is a nice routine that builds mass and strength on the forearm without too much torque:

- hammer curl with triceps bar
12-10-8-6 (last set triple drop set)
- reverse barbell curl
12-10-8-6 (last set triple drop set)
- reverse cable curl
16-12-10-8 (last set triple drop set)
- reverse wrist curls with the EZ bar 4 * 12
- wrist rolling device (or improvised with rope and some weight)
3 sets of 3 minutes...

Since your wrist is a little sore, you might start this routine the first session with sets of 4 * 15 and the second session with sets of 4 * 12 to allow gradual increase in resistance without inflammatory reaction.

Also i found that swimming does really a lot for the endurance muscles of your wrist (especially chest crawling interval sprints) since you move the water with your hands. doesn't build size, but it really helps to recover them to baseline.

That's all heavy on the brachialis which could cause problems in itself. Not sure why that would help wrist problems.
