Thanks !
With the BB behind my back, I just hang it off the tips of my fingers and 'roll up'. I have horrible wrists and it doesn't bother them at all! I"m sure you'll love them

I think the difference is that when you do regular wrist curls with your arm extended prone, as you contract your hand wants to move medially.

But when you're behind your back, you can have flexion and it wants to stay inline with angle of your forearms. It feels much more natural to me.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Lee Haney was a big fan of behind the back wrist curls. Luke and Rock are right, they are easier on your wrists, and probably more effective.
