Forearms

The band reverse wrist curl targets the extensor muscles on top of the forearm, which get far less direct work than the flexors even though they're just as involved in grip health and wrist stability. It's a low-load, high-rep accessory that's easy to neglect but pays off in grip endurance and elbow health. Keep the motion slow, since the extensors are small and don't need heavy resistance to fatigue.

How to Do the Band Reverse Wrist Curl

  1. Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Grip the band overhand, palms facing down, wrapping it around your fingers.
  3. Rest your forearms on your thighs so your wrists hang just past the edge.
  4. Slowly curl your wrists upward, contracting your forearm muscles.
  5. Hold briefly at the top, then slowly lower your wrists back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for your desired repetitions, keeping constant tension on the working muscle throughout.
