Cable Standing Back Wrist Curl
Description
The cable standing back wrist curl is performed standing with a cable bar gripped behind the body. From this behind-the-back position, you flex and extend the wrists to curl the cable through a full range. The position frees the wrists from the body for complete forearm flexion with constant cable tension.
