Dumbbell Wrist Extension

Description

The dumbbell wrist extension is an effective exercise for strengthening the forearm extensors. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
  2. Rest your forearms on your thighs or a flat surface, with your wrists hanging off the edge.
  3. Keeping your forearms still, slowly extend your wrists to raise the dumbbells.
  4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your forearms.
  5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
