Success Tips

Move slowly and keep tension in the back of the forearms at all times.

Keep your chest lifted, trunk muscles tightened, and a very slight arch in your lower back.

You may perform this exercise one arm at a time to make it easier to focus and isolate the back of your forearms, or with both arms simultaneously to

save time.

START

Sit facing the Power Rod® unit with your knees bent, feet together and flat on the bench. Sit far back enough on the bench to maintain physical and cable tension throughout exercise.

Grasp the Hand Grips, palm facing down, and rest your mid-forearms on your lower thighs, keeping your elbows flared slightly to the side.

ACTION

Slowly curl the back of your fists backward towards your forearms.

Stop when wrists are 90° from forearms or when you experience discomfort.

Slowly return to the Start position.
