Barbell Wrist Extension: how to do it and form tips

Trains the forearm extensors (back of the forearm) with a reverse-grip barbell curl. Balances the flexor work.

Form tips

1. Hold the bar with a pronated (overhand) grip, forearms on your thighs.
2. Extend the wrists up against the bar's resistance.
3. Keep the movement small and controlled — extensors fatigue quickly.
