The Cable Wrist Curl exercise targets the muscles in the forearms, specifically the wrist flexors. It helps to improve grip strength and forearm development.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Wrist Curl exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Attach a straight bar or rope attachment to a low pulley cable machine.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
3. Grab the bar or rope with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
4. Position your arms straight out in front of you with your elbows slightly bent.
5. Keeping your arms stationary and elbows in place, curl your wrists upwards as far as possible.
6. Hold the contraction for a moment, then slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can use heavier weights, perform more reps, or slow down the movement to focus on the contraction of the muscles. It is important to use proper form and controlled movements to avoid injury.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
