Roark Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
