Seated Barbell Wrist Extension
Forearms on the thighs, palms down: lift the backs of the hands against the weight.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, forearms on the thighs, palms DOWN, bar past the knees.
Steps
- Lower the knuckles toward the floor.
- Lift the backs of the hands as high as they go.
- Keep the forearms pinned.
Common mistakes
Loading like the flexor curl: extensors take HALF the weight. Elbows rising: pinned forearms. Fast reps: the small extensors want slow.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
