Wrist Extension (Cable)

How to do it

1. Attach a strap or bar handle to a low cable pulley and sit on a bench with your forearm resting along your thigh and your palm facing down.
2. Grip the handle with your wrist hanging just past your knee and press your other hand on the forearm to keep it pinned still.
3. Brace your core and lift the back of your hand upward into wrist extension against the cable, driving the movement with your forearm extensors.
4. Squeeze the top of the forearm at full extension, then let the extensors lengthen under control as the wrist lowers back down.
5. Exhale as you lift the hand and inhale on a slow, controlled lowering against the cable tension.
6. Keep the motion isolated to the wrist and avoid rocking the torso or lifting the forearm off your leg to move the weight.
