Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.

MUSCLES TARGETED: extensor carpi radialis, extensor carpi ulnaris
STARTING POSITION
Sit on the edge of a bench.
Grasp the bar with a closed pronated grip at a width of roughly 8 to 12 inches.

Move the wrists forward until they extend just beyond the patellae.
Allow the wrists to flex towards the floor.
