Exercise Description

Standing cable wrist curl (behind back) builds forearm strength and grip power. It targets your wrist flexors from a unique angle to develop stronger hands and wrists.

How To

1. Set cable machine to low position and attach straight bar handle 2. Stand facing away from machine, grab bar behind your back with underhand grip 3. Keep arms straight and locked at your sides throughout the standing cable wrist curl (behind back) 4. Curl wrists up by flexing forearms, squeeze at the top 5. Lower wrists slowly back to starting position, feeling the stretch in your forearms

Form Tips

• Keep your arms completely straight and pressed against your body during standing cable wrist curl (behind back) • Only move at the wrists - your forearms should stay still • Use a slow, controlled tempo on both the lift and lower • Keep your shoulders back and chest up throughout the movement

Common Mistakes

• Moving the arms or shoulders instead of isolating the wrists in standing cable wrist curl (behind back) • Using too much weight and losing control of the movement • Rushing through reps instead of focusing on the standing cable wrist curl (behind back) squeeze
