Wrist Curls, Contracted: Forearm Flexors
- The same as reverse wrist
curls, except you use a palms
up grip on the bar. This
movement works the forearm
flexors on the underside of the
lower arm. - Take an overhand, palms-down, grip on the bar,
with about 10 inches between your thumbs. - Rest your forearms on your thighs or on a bench.
- Allow the bar to pull your hands down, then curl
it up to the highest point possible with forearm
extensor strength alone. - Pause at the top for a count, then slowly release.
Reverse Wrist Curls, Contracted: Forearm Extensors
The regular deadlift can be classified as a
midrange midback exercise or a midrange
quad exercise. While
you use your legs to
power through the
first two-thirds of the
stroke, it’s almost a full-body exercise. No
matter how you classify it, it’s one of the
best all-around mass moves available.
