Barbell Wrist Extension




Barbell wrist extensions are the simplest way to train wrist extension strength for wrist stability and health and to balance wrist flexor strength.
 
 
Execution
 
With a barbell in a pronated grip, squat partially and rest your forearms on your thighs at an approximately 45-degree angle. Flex the wrists completely, then lift them into full extension with a controlled tempo to minimize momentum. Return to flexion under control.
 
 
Purpose
 
Barbell wrist extensions strengthen wrist extension for general wrist health and stability and balance the usually dominant wrist flexors.
 
 
Programming
 
Do 2-3 sets of 10-30 reps at the end of a training session 1-3 days/week.
