How to perform Wrist Rotations with Straight Bar

1. Stand holding the bar in front of your thighs with an overhand grip about shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep the bar supported and your arms mostly still.
3. Alternate hands, bending each wrist back to turn the bar a little at a time as though rolling up a newspaper.
4. Reverse the turning direction by bending the wrists forward, continuing to alternate hands.
5. Keep the movement controlled and stop the bout when you can no longer maintain the intended wrist motion.
