Blaster wrist curls

[Roark]

Injured my left wrist about three weeks ago, so I

have not been going heavy in my wrist curls, staying

around 160-175 lbs.

It is better, so today I switched to wrist curls done

this way:

Place an arm blaster against my lower back, with

my wrists against where the elbows would be if

a regular barbell curl was being performed.

Have the loaded barbell resting on the pins at a height

where I can back up to the barbell, grasp it, lean forward

a little, then start doing wrist curls. I lean forward enough

so that the 'shrugging' urge cannot be employed, and use

full range of motion, no 'nudges'.

Go to failure and then safely put the bell back on the

rack pins.

This pumps the forearms without putting the horrendous

strain on the wrists. After warming up, I got sets of

six reps with 95, 115, 125, and 135 lbs.

Plan to train on these until I can get 175 for six, and then

see how much I can get doing seated wrist curls.
