Isometric Wrist Extension
A static hold: the free hand presses down on the back of the working hand while that wrist pushes up against it, and nothing moves.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling at a bench, working forearm flat on it palm down, the other hand over its knuckles.
Steps
- Press the back of the hand up into the other hand.
- Keep the push steady; neither hand moves.
- Hold and breathe; time it.
- Switch hands for the next hold.
Common mistakes
Pushing in jerks: build the effort smoothly and keep it even. Holding the breath: breathe through the hold. Wrist bending under the push: the joint stays straight; press less hard.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
