How to: Cable Standing Wrist Reverse Curl
- Set the cable pulley at a low setting and attach a straight-bar or EZ-bar.
- Stand in front of the cable machine and grab the bar with an overhand grip.
- With your elbows fixed to your sides, curl the bar upwards while keeping your wrists straight.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then lower the bar back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight can lead to improper form.
- Allowing the elbows to flare out instead of keeping them in.
- Not fully retracting the wrists at the end of the movement.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise seated to eliminate lower body movement.
- Use resistance bands instead of a cable for less resistance.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body to isolate the forearm muscles.
- Use a controlled motion to avoid swinging the weight.
- Start with a light weight to prevent straining your wrists.
