Reverse Wrist Curls on the Table

Reverse wrist curls done with the forearm resting on the table itself, rather than a bench, put the wrist extensors to work in the exact body position a live match puts them in — closer training specificity than the standard version.

Coaching Tips

  • Use lighter weight than regular wrist curls
  • Essential for elbow and wrist health

Common Mistakes

  • Using a table surface that's a different height than an actual armwrestling table, changing the angle this exercise is meant to replicate
  • Letting the elbow lift off the table instead of keeping the same fixed elbow position a real match requires
