Cable Standing Wrist Curl
The standing wrist curl with a straight bar on a low pulley, palms forward and arms long; the cable pulls the bar toward the stack the whole way.
How to do it
Setup
Standing facing the low pulley, underhand grip on the bar at hip width, arms hanging straight.
Steps
- Curl the bar up with the wrists, elbows locked.
- Pause when the wrists are fully bent.
- Straighten the wrists slowly as the bar returns.
Common mistakes
Standing too far away: the cable drags the arms forward; step in. Turning it into a biceps curl: the elbows never bend. Shoulders leaning toward the stack: stay upright.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
