BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT

Reverse Wrist Curl

Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.

  1. 01
    Set up

    Support the forearm with the palm down and the wrist just beyond the edge. Use a very light weight.

  2. 02
    Move

    Lift the back of the hand toward the forearm while the forearm stays pressed into the support.

  3. 03
    Finish

    Stop before the elbow moves, then lower the knuckles slowly through the available range.

Short rangeShort range

Reverse Wrist Curl

Sets: 3 · Reps: 12–25

Extend the wrist directly with the forearm supported.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The wrist extensors move from a lengthened hanging position into extension without help from the elbow or shoulder.
