Reverse Wrist Curl (Cable)

Form Cues

• Attach a straight bar to a low cable pulley.

• Kneel or sit facing the cable and grip the bar with an overhand (pronated) grip, roughly shoulder-width.

• Rest your forearms on your thighs or on a bench with your wrists hanging over the edge.

• Let the cable pull your wrists down into flexion for a full stretch of the forearm extensors.

• Extend the wrists upward against the cable resistance, squeezing the top of the forearms at the top.

• The cable provides constant tension throughout the entire range — unlike free weights, there's no dead spot.

• Keep your forearms stationary — only the wrists should move.

• Use lighter weight than wrist curls — the extensors are weaker than the flexors.
