Resistance Band Wrist Extension
The resistance band wrist extension strengthens the forearm extensors, which are often neglected and contribute to elbow pain when weak. Loop a light band around your fingers and extend against resistance.
How to Perform
Place a light resistance band around all five fingertips of one hand.
Start with fingers closed, then spread and extend them against the band resistance.
Hold the extended position for a one-count, then slowly return to the start.
Perform 15-25 reps per hand — this is a high-rep endurance exercise.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a band that is too heavy, which causes compensatory wrist deviation instead of clean extension.
Rushing through reps — the extensor muscles respond best to controlled, deliberate contractions.
Only training wrist flexion and neglecting extension, which creates muscular imbalances and elbow pain.
