Primary muscles: Forearms

How to do it

  1. Hold a barbell with both hands and your palms facing down; hands spaced about shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
  2. Alternating between each of your hands, perform the movement by extending the wrist as though you were rolling up a newspaper. Continue alternating back and forth until failure.
  3. Reverse the motion by flexing the wrist, rolling the opposite direction. Continue the alternating motion until failure.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Wrist Rotations with Straight Bar from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Forearms volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
