Eccentric ulnar deviation of the wrist with Flexbar, 3 sets, 10 repetitions, slow and controlled return
Listen to the instructions
How to do the exercise
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10
Description: Seated, place your forearm on a support with the hand extending beyond the edge, wrist in a neutral position. Slowly tilt your wrist toward the little finger (ulnar deviation) without moving the elbow or flexing/extension the wrist. Return very slowly and in a controlled manner to the neutral position during the eccentric phase.
Tips: Keep the elbow immobile and focus on a slow, controlled movement to maximize strengthening. Avoid any wrist flexion or extension during the exercise.
Progression: Gradually increase resistance by using a stiffer Flexbar or slowing down the eccentric return as the exercise becomes easier.
