High and Low-Platform Wrist Curl
To take wrist curls a step further, try doing them seated on an adjustable platform, or just use two different surfaces: one high, one low.
Adjusting the height of the platform can influence the overload:
- A high-platform position where the hips are higher than the knees will overload the contracted position.
- A low-platform position where the hips are lower than the knees will overload the stretched position.
Try a couple of sets in each position and you'll feel the difference.
