Beginner Forearms Strength Smith Machine Flat Bench Pull Gym

Purpose: This exercise strengthens the muscles that flex the wrist.

Benefits: This exercise focuses on the wrist flexors with the forearms supinated.

Straddle a flat bench in a Smith Machine. Grasp the bar, with hands close together, underhand grip. Let about half of your forearms extend beyond the end of the bench. Brace your elbows against the insides of your knees. Let your wrists bend back and open your fingers slightly. Do not roll the bar to the tips of your fingers. This is your starting position. Grip the bar tightly and curl the bar as high as you can. Let your elbows lift slightly from the bench at the end of the movement. Exhale during this movement. Slowly lower the bar to the starting position. Inhale during this movement. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.

A complete forearm program must achieve balanced development for all major forearm muscles. The forearm is involved in six different forearm movements. They include wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist abduction, wrist adduction, forearm pronation, and forearm supination. There are additional muscles found in the forearm that are involved in movements like elbow flexion (brachioradialis), finger flexion, and finger extension.
