The behind-the-back- Smith machine wrist curl is an isolation exercise for building muscle and strength in the forearms/wrist flexors. Many people also do this exercise to improve grip strength as it’s very effective for this reason. Now, it’s a rather simple exercise and using lightweight for more reps is recommended to minimize excessive stress on the wrist joints.

But, you’ll undoubtedly improve your wrist flexor/forearm strength which is a great benefit of doing this exercise, especially for improved sports performance. Include the Smith machine wrist curl in your routine after your arm workouts for extra gains!

  • Type: Strength
  • Mechanics: Isolation
  • Equipment: Smith Machine

Exercise Instructions

  1. Set up a Smith machine bar about knee level.
  2. Then, stand facing away from the bar and grip it with hands about shoulder-width distance apart.

  4. Then, allow the bar to roll down your fingers.
  5. Curl the bar back up with your fingers and wrists, then flex your forearms.

Variations & Tips:
