Dumbbell Wrist Extension, illustrated

How to do it

Setup

Forearms on the thighs, palms down, dumbbells in the hands.

Steps

  1. Lower the knuckles down.
  2. Lift the backs of the hands up with the wrists.
  3. One hand at a time evens out a weak side.

Common mistakes

Same weight as flexions: go clearly lighter. Wrist wobbling sideways: straight up and down. Forearms floating: glued to the thighs.

Breathing

Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
