Cable Standing Back Wrist Curl

The behind-the-back wrist curl on a low pulley, a straight bar held in both hands behind the hips instead of a barbell.

How to do it

Setup

Back to a low pulley, a straight bar in both hands behind the hips, palms facing back, arms long.

Steps

Let the bar roll the hands open at the bottom.
Curl the bar up behind the hips by bending the wrists.
Lower it slowly, the arms still straight.

Common mistakes

Standing too close to the stack: the cable goes slack at the bottom; step away. Shoulders shrugging up as the wrists tire: keep them down. Elbows bending to cheat the bar up: straight arms, lighter load.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
