Strength exercise
Reverse Wrist Curl (Cable)
How to do it
- Attach a straight bar or handle to a low pulley and sit or kneel with your forearm resting flat on a bench.
- Take an overhand grip on the handle with your palm facing down and your wrist hanging just past the edge of the bench.
- Brace your core to keep your torso still, then extend your wrist upward, lifting the handle by pulling your knuckles toward you.
- Keep your forearm pinned to the bench throughout, isolating the movement to the wrist joint only.
- Squeeze briefly at the top of the extension before lowering the handle under control back to a fully flexed wrist.
- Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower, using a light load and slow tempo to keep momentum out of the movement.
