Exercise Description

The standing smith machine wrist curl (behind back) exercise builds forearm strength and grip power. It targets your wrist flexors from a unique angle for better muscle development.

How To

1. Set the Smith machine bar at hip height and load your weight 2. Stand facing away from the bar and grab it behind your back with an underhand grip 3. Keep your arms straight and let your wrists extend down to stretch your forearms 4. Curl your wrists up by contracting your forearm muscles, lifting the bar as high as possible 5. Lower the bar slowly back to the starting position and repeat for your standing smith machine wrist curl (behind back) reps

Form Tips

• Keep your arms completely straight throughout the entire standing smith machine wrist curl (behind back) movement • Only move your wrists - your forearms should stay still and stable • Use a full range of motion by stretching down and curling up as far as possible • Control the weight on both the up and down portions of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting your elbows bend during the standing smith machine wrist curl (behind back) • Moving too fast and not controlling the weight properly on the way down • Not using full range of motion during your standing smith machine wrist curl (behind back) reps
