The Barbell Reverse Wrist Curl is an exercise that targets the forearm muscles, specifically the extensor muscles that run along the top of the forearm. This exercise helps to improve grip strength and wrist stability.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Reverse Wrist Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by selecting an appropriate weight for the barbell. It is recommended to start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as needed.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down), keeping your arms fully extended in front of you.
3. Slowly lower the barbell by allowing your wrists to curl down towards the floor, keeping your arms stationary throughout the movement.
4. Once your wrists reach their full range of motion, slowly curl them back up towards your body by contracting the extensor muscles in your forearms. Keep your movements controlled and avoid swinging the barbell.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps.
6. Remember to breathe consistently throughout the exercise and maintain proper form to prevent injury.
7. After completing your sets, carefully lower the barbell back to the starting position and release your grip.
It is important to consult with a fitness professional or trainer before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have any existing injuries or medical conditions.
