At Home

[underdawg]

i was sitting around the other day, contemplating how to get some wrist work in at home. i'm trying to gain some wrist strength that a 8 year old girl wouldn't scoff at. then it hit me. i took my wrist roller, threaded my 2 mini bands through it, stepped on the loops made in the ends of the bands and curled away. it's good either sitting or standing, whichever you prefer. it felt totally different than regular bbell wrist curls. ya'll tell me what you think

I did something like this awhile ago for tendinitis rehab. It works ok but tis hard to judge how much you're lifting, also since the weight is a lot harder at the top than the bottom its hard to get that good contraction of wc. I liked it best for reverse wc actually because it was easy to work through a full range of motion. I attached my bands to a heavy end table and then the farther away I sat from it the more resistance. Careful not to cut your bands against your roller if the insides of it are sharp.

Now find an 8 year old girl and run this idea by her.

If she doesn't scoff at you, you might have something.

That is a good idea.

I prefer to use the old stick + rope + weight method, a peice of round wood about a foot long with a hole drilled in the middle, end of the rope through the hole and tied in a knot, the rope can be as long as you want, attach a weight to the end 2lb,5lb,10lb.

Either standing or sitting have arms extended at shoulder level and wind the rope up until weight hits the top, then slowly wind down.

I've found this to be the best exercise for me for wrist exstension.
