Comments

This wrist extension isolation exercise will successfully recruit the wrist extensors of the forearm.

Shoulder width grip is usually sufficient, but experiment to see what width is most friendly on the wrist, if necessary.

For hypertrophy 25+ reps will likely yield the best results, providing optimal time under tension for type i fibres.
