How to Perform Back Wrist Curl
The barbell back wrist curl is an isolation exercise that targets the forearm extensor muscles by loading wrist extension from a pronated grip position. Performed with the forearms supported on a bench or thighs and the palms facing down, the movement involves lifting the barbell by extending the wrists while keeping the arms and elbows stationary. Emphasizing slow, controlled reps and a full range of motion helps build forearm strength, improve muscular balance, and support wrist stability.
