Instructions
1. Stand facing away from the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Select an appropriate weight on the cable machine.
3. Grab the handle attachment with an overhand grip (palms facing down), and hold it behind you at hip level, with your arms extended and elbows slightly bent to avoid locking them.
4. Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your body throughout the exercise.
5. Exhale and curl your wrists upward, trying to bring the back of your hand towards your forearms. Ensure only your wrists are moving, and the motion is controlled.
6. Hold the peak contraction for a moment and then inhale as you slowly lower your wrists back to the starting position.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
8. After completing a set, rest for a short period and then continue with the next set.
Make sure to start with lighter weight to focus on form and avoid injury. As you become more comfortable with the movement, you can gradually increase the weight.
