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 underhand (supinated) 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 extension for a full stretch of the forearm flexors.

• Curl the bar upward by flexing the wrists, squeezing the forearms at the top.

• The cable provides constant tension throughout — no dead spot at the top like with dumbbells.

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

• Use a controlled tempo and moderate weight.
