Muscles worked

Main target: Forearms. The forearm holds the muscles that bend and straighten the wrist and close the hand. Grip is forearm work: carries, hangs and heavy pulls all train it.

The catalog names no other muscle it works on the way.

Track it in StatBlockFit

In the StatBlockFit app the Wrist Mobilisation is logged set by set: the app suggests your next weight after each session, times your rests, keeps your records and shows the 72-hour recovery of every muscle on its training map. The training guide explains how.
