Strong wrists are a component of functional strength. They're necessary for gripping and carrying heavy objects; unfortunately some people have absolutely no clue as to how to make their wrists stronger. Today I'm going to show you an easy wrist flex exercise.

How To Do Reverse Wrist Flexes 

You'll need a fixed barbell for this exercise. Start out with a warm up set. Grab a light weight fixed barbell (five pounds on each end) and place the barbell behind your back. Stand up straight. Make sure that your arms are fully extended behind you with your palms facing away from your body. Now, flex your wrists, this action will lift the barbell upward. Now, return your wrists to the starting position. That's one rep. Do this nine more times to finish up the warm up set.

Now choose heavier weights. Do three sets of ten reps, this will give your wrist muscles a good workout. If you practice this exercise on a regular basis, your wrists will become stronger and more flexible.
