Reply With QuoteOk so you can perform 'wrist flexion' by doing a wrist curl, so to train for wrist 'extension' you can perform 'reverse' wrist curls.
I have never bothered with impleting such exercises like this in my program, I very rarely perform a curl. I can not think of any positive points or why this exercise may be beneficial, certainly not crucial. Any feedback from others on this?

Wrist Extensors
I have read just a few times that one training their 'wrist extensors' can be beneficial but have not read, why, it may be valuable.
Does anybody perform exercises for this? Can you explain why you do so? What is a way of evaluating if this muscle is a weakness?

Cow Pimp - If you don't train your legs you're a dumbfuck. I'm not going to elaborate on why. If it isn't obvious to you, then you deserve the marginal results that you get and hideously unbalanced/injury prone physique that you will build.

Never bothered with wrist curls. Prefer grip work if I feel the need.
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

Ok cool, what do you do to assess your grip strength? Any idea how this twangs in with wrist extensors?

Well, if your grip isn't the first thing to fail when doing heavy DB rows or shrugs then you don't have a problem. Is the real job of the WE's to bend the fingers? Originally Posted by Raz

If your grip fails when doing shrugs or db rows, something's wrong. I could see it failing doing deadlifts, but rows... Originally Posted by KarlW

Dunno, you tell me? I just imagined the job was in its name, to extend the wrsit Originally Posted by KarlW
