Moderate wrist pain after wrist and reverse wrist curls (self.fitness)

I go relatively heavy on them (fail on 6-8 reps) because my grip strength affects my bench press, however i have started to feel some moderate pain on my left wrist (joint), it happens when i try to squeeze something. Is this normal? Also are there any other exercises that possibly don’t use the wrist joint as much?

During presses, nothing wrong with some extra wrist protection. You're isolating muscles with each exercise and bench press isn't a wrist exercise.

Don't wear during wrist exercises, you should be starting out real easy and staying in the comfort zone to avoid damage.

Warmup is real important, everyone forgets the wrists but you're using them for every exercise unless it's leg day.
