lifesnotfair Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I think front lever exercises train this muscle, too. Oh, right! And I like that one. Ok, I will continue not to do reverse wrist curls :P .. I just can't find a comfortable way to do them.. not barbells, not dumbells, not Pegasus, not plates... I think it's because I can't fully pronate my left rest. Maybe I could use a pulley and pull sideways with a parallel gril (palm facing a side).. heh, but it might not be worth the effort!!

greenBuddah Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm doing reverse wristcurls with a short pipe (like 14"), I stick through the plates, and then grab it at the ends. In this way it feels real comfortable, cause my hands are more loose than on a long bar. But in general I also do more leverwork (esp. hammercurls) and platecurls than reverse/wristcurls.

Autolupus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Wrist curls and levering exercise wrist flexion and extension NOT finger extension! It'd be like working the bicep to hit the delt, you might get a bit of crossover(in a stabilising capacity), but you're not really working the muscle you intend to target.

greenBuddah Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yes, I know (and I think superfeemiman & lifesnotfair also know), but the problem with wrist flexor/extensor is similar to the finger flexor/extensor problem. I guess that's why he asked in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Oh, I see, sorry! Just the work the agonist/antagonist thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beev Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Not as cheap as the Bands, but IM do a couple of extensor straps for use with a loading pin. They are called Outer Limit Loops: http://www6.mailordercentral.com/ironmind/...asp?number=1377 Possibly the next step when the bands arent challenging enough!

Autolupus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) When 55 bands aren't challenging enough! You got a be rock man! Edited March 17, 2007 by Autolupus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
