Standing Palms-Up Barbell Behind The Back Wrist Curl Guide

Main Muscle: Forearms

  1. Start by standing straight and holding a barbell behind your glutes at arm's length while using a pronated grip (palms will be facing back away from the glutes) and having your hands shoulder width apart from each other.
  2. You should be looking straight forward while your feet are shoulder width apart from each other. This is the starting position.
  3. While exhaling, slowly elevate the barbell up by curling your wrist in a semi-circular motion towards the ceiling. Note: Your wrist should be the only body part moving for this exercise.
  4. Hold the contraction for a second and lower the barbell back down to the starting position while inhaling.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
  6. When finished, lower the barbell down to the squat rack or the floor by bending the knees. Tip: It is easiest to either pick it up from a squat rack or have a partner hand it to you.

Variations: You can also perform this exercise with dumbbells using the same movements as described above. Another option is to use one dumbbell at a time for better isolation.

Oct 12, 2011 2:20 PM: Works very well. It gets those forearms tight, and gives a good burn. Be careful how you get into that position. You can jack your back up easily and possible strip your elbow tendons. Take it easy.

Aug 5, 2011 8:23 AM: It helps to make each rep slow and precise. Also squeeze hard at the end of each curl. Feels like the skin on your arm is going to rip..Great exercise! :)

May 23, 2011 10:42 AM: Every other wrist exercise puts your wrist in an awkward position and when executing the move you feel like there is something that is just not right, for example any seated barbell/dumbbell wrist curl you feel like your wrist is either hanging in the air or that stabilizing the movement is not practical,...+See More
