Reverse Wrist Curl (Cable)

An isolation exercise for the forearm extensors performed with a cable attachment using an overhand grip to strengthen wrist extension.

Instructions

1. Attach a straight bar to a low pulley cable and select the appropriate weight.
2. Stand facing the machine and grasp the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down), hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Rest your forearms on a bench or flat surface with your hands extending just beyond the edge.
4. Extend your wrists by curling the bar upward using only your forearms and wrist extensors.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
6. Lower the bar back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Tips

• Keep your forearms flat and stationary on the bench throughout the movement.
• Use a light weight to focus on the forearm extensors without straining the joints.
• Perform the movement slowly to maximize time under tension.
• Full range of motion is important for developing forearm strength and endurance.
• Combine with reverse wrist curls to balance forearm development.
