behind the back wrist curls
The other day a friend and I tried behind the back barbell wrist curls as a forearm exercise.
All that happened is a little kind of see saw motion. Were we trying to go too heavy--it didn't feel too heavy though(we were using a 45lb bar with no weights)--or is there a limited range of motion for this exercise?

why not just do them over the flat end of a preacher bench. arms vertical to the floor(hanging straight down) and curl em up that way. I still prefer forearms over a bench wrist curls.

A for sure don't do them sitting down and resting your wrists on your knees .. busted my left wrist 6 months ago, and it's still holding me back
Consider the Behind the Back WristCurl as a Shrug .. it takes some time to really get to know the exercise ..
But once the technique is there: ouch ...

Guys could you further describe that "plate on a rope" thing please. Sounds like a good one.

I hold the bar in my fingers and not actually my hand.
It makes the ROM a bit bigger.Being held down by The Man

Basically, you have a 2' round stick with a 36" rope tied at the middle with a weight at the end.Originally posted by KarlW

You hold the stick at shoulder level and wined it up and once the weight gets to the stick, you wined it back down.
Its a real stinger.
Cool

Hmm usually I do wrist curls with dumbells with my forearms half resting on a bench half hanging over (I would be kneeling down). Is that kind of what you mean?Originally posted by Preacher

That's a better way to do them: I hurt mine when one of my wrists slipped from my knee, leaving all the weight on the other one .. ouch.with my forearms half resting on a bench half hanging overLast edited by Preacher; 12-12-2002 at 04:35 AM.

I do it slowly, on my knees, have been doing this for more than 10 years with no problems. I dont unroll the figers.
