Seated Wrist Extension

Muscles worked:

Forearms

Bench Position:

Horizontal

Accessory:

Handgrips

Pulleys:

Chest Bar

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 you can perform it with both arms simultaneously to save time.

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

FINISH

Action

•Slowly curl the back of your fists backward toward your forearms.

•Stop when wrists are 90o from forearms or when you experi- ence discomfort.

•Slowly return to the Start position.
