Reverse curls are a great exercise for targeting the wrist extensor muscles, which play an important role in stabilizing the wrist and improving grip strength. These muscles are used in various sports like tennis, baseball, and rock climbing, as well as in daily tasks such as lifting objects and typing.
To perform reverse curls properly:
- Start Position: Hold a barbell or dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing down) at shoulder-width apart.
- Engage Core: Stand tall with a slight bend in your knees, and keep your back straight.
- Curl Up: Slowly curl the weight up toward your shoulders, focusing on using your wrist extensors and forearms.
- Control the Descent: Lower the weight back down in a controlled manner to the starting position.
You can adjust the weight based on your level, and it's important to focus on form to avoid straining your wrists or forearms.
