Cable Wrist Rotation

The cable wrist rotation trains forearm pronation and supination against constant resistance, targeting the pronator and supinator muscles that most exercises miss. Attach a handle to a low cable and rotate your forearm.

How to Perform

1

Attach a single handle to a low cable pulley.

2

Grip the handle with your elbow at 90 degrees and forearm parallel to the floor.

3

Rotate your forearm from palm-down to palm-up against the cable resistance.

4

Return slowly and repeat, then switch to the other direction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Moving the entire arm instead of isolating the forearm rotation.

Using too heavy a weight, which forces the shoulder to compensate.

Rushing through reps — forearm rotation muscles need slow, controlled work.
