Barbell Standing Wrist Reverse Curl
Description
The barbell standing wrist reverse curl is a forearm extensor exercise performed standing with the bar held in front of the thighs with an overhand grip. By extending the wrists upward against the bar weight, you train the forearm extensors directly. It builds the back of the forearm for full arm thickness.
