Standing Barbell Wrist Extensions
According to Chad Waterbury, weak wrist extensors will dramatically
decrease your gripping strength. These weak extensors limit the amount
of strength you can develop in your wrist flexors in order to protect
the joint from injury (i.e. the body limits flexor strength since
the extensors are weak). Here's the solution:
1) While standing, hold an unloaded barbell or EZ-curl bar with
your arms extended in front of you at shoulder height.
2) Extend your wrists back as far as possible (pull knuckles up
toward ceiling).
3) Flex your wrists down as far as possible to stretch the extensors.
4) Lift and repeat for 5 sets of 10 reps with 90 second rest periods
Follow these guidelines and you should be well on your way to improved
gripping strength and bigger forearms!
