How to perform EZ Bar Reverse Wrist Curl with proper form
Purpose: Strengthens the forearm extensors.
Starting Position:
- Stand or sit on a bench with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the EZ bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
- Position your forearms on your thighs or rest them on a flat surface, allowing your wrists to hang off.
Execution:
- Flex your wrists upward, lifting the EZ bar. Keep your forearms stationary.
- Squeeze at the top of the movement for a brief moment.
- Slowly lower the EZ bar back to the starting position, controlling the movement.
Tips:
- Keep your elbows close to your body.
- Avoid using momentum; focus on the muscle contraction.
- Maintain a neutral spine and avoid leaning forward.
Common Mistakes:
- Lifting too heavy, leading to poor form.
- Allowing elbows to flare out or moving them during the curl.
Muscles Worked:
- Forearm extensors.
- Wrists.
Safety:
- Start with a lighter weight to master form before increasing.
