#Info – Seated Barbell Wrist Extension
The seated barbell wrist extension targets the forearm extensors. A common mistake is using too much weight, leading to poor form and potential strain. Aim for a controlled motion without swinging the barbell. Keep your elbows close to your body to maintain stability. Beginners should start with lighter weights and gradually increase as strength improves. If you lack a barbell, dumbbells or resistance bands can be alternatives. This exercise enhances grip strength and wrist stability, beneficial for various sports and daily activities. Always prioritize form over weight to avoid injury.
