Behind-the-Back Wrist Curl
Standing with the bar behind the hips, curl it with the wrists alone; the longer lever makes it harder than the seated version.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, bar behind the hips in a palms-back grip, arms long.
Steps
- Let the bar roll to the fingers.
- Curl it back up with the wrists.
- The arms stay long; only the wrists move.
Common mistakes
Shrugging as the set burns: shoulders stay down. Bending the elbows: long lever is the point. Grip too wide: the bar should sit level.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale on the roll.
