The Smith Standing Back Wrist Curl is an exercise that targets the forearm muscles, particularly the wrist flexors. This exercise is typically done using a Smith machine, which allows for controlled and isolated movement of the wrists.
How to perform
To perform the Smith Standing Back Wrist Curl:1. Adjust the height of the Smith machine bar so that it is at waist level.
2. Stand facing the Smith machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
4. Lower the bar by flexing your wrists, keeping your arms straight and elbows locked.
5. Slowly raise the bar by extending your wrists, allowing the weight to roll back towards your fingers.
6. Squeeze your forearms at the top of the movement, then lower the bar back down to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to use a controlled and smooth motion throughout the exercise, and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. It is important to start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and prevent injury.
