Body part: Forearms · Muscle group: Wrist flexors · Equipment: low pulley, straight bar
Why this exercise
Forearm flexors operate on a ~7:1 lever with tiny moment arms at the wrist; cable loading keeps tension deep into flexion where a barbell often loses torque. Standing face-away setup limits compensatory hyperextension at the wrist.
Score 78 / A — top-tier forearm selector in the scored catalog.
Palms-up (supinated) curl line — biases flexor digitorum superficialis and related flexors.
Session closer — small muscles that do not need to precede heavy pulls.
Volume note: Forearms tolerate higher frequency; here they receive a concentrated cable block at the end of pull day.
