Cable Wrist Curl

What it is

This isolation exercise specifically targets your forearms, helping to build grip strength and muscular endurance. You perform it by curling a cable bar with a supinated grip, moving only your wrists. This movement helps improve forearm development and overall hand strength.

Technique tips

• Anchor your forearms securely on your thighs.
• Only your wrists should move; keep your forearms still.
• Use a supinated grip with your palms facing up.
• Curl the bar upward, exhaling, then slowly lower as you inhale.
• Control the bar's descent to maximize muscle engagement.
• Focus on a full range of motion for best results.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
