Guidelines for the Barbell Wrist Curl Behind the Back

How to do Behind-The-Back Barbell Wrist Curl

  • Pick a barbell weight and hold it behind your back with an underhand grip (palms facing out) to start the workout. Position your hands approximately shoulder width apart.
  • Place your feet shoulder width apart and stand upright. Lean just at the wrists and let the barbell fall as far as it will go. This is where you should start the exercise.
  • At the peak of the exercise squeeze your forearm muscles while slowly raising the barbell as high as you can. You should just be moving your wrists.
  • After a brief stop gradually return the barbell to its initial position.
  • Continue until you reach the required number of reps.

Tips for Barbell Wrist Curls Behind the Back

  • Use lighter weight as a priority so that you may concentrate on good form. This exercise works well even with light weights.
  • For increased ferocity: At the peak of the exercise halt or squeeze your forearms for a count of two. Maintain a slow rep tempo.
  • Allow the weight to descend as far as feasible at the bottom of the movement to utilize the entire range of motion.
  • When done drop the bar to the floor by bending at the knees or lowering it to a rack.
