Hi everyone,
I've been doing palm down wrist curls to help with tennis elbow for a while now, which seems to help.
I recently had a chat with a physio (over beer so not in a huge amount of detail) who mentioned that the beneficial stage of the exercise is when the weight is being lowered, and that I should then raise the weight with my other arm before starting another rep.
I've done a couple of sets like this and can't really say I noticed the difference.
Any knowledge on the matter would be appreciated, but I guess some specific points would be:
Whether raising the weight can be detrimental,
Whether the physio was right in that beneficial part of the curl is lowering the weight,
and more generally what sort of range of reps this exercise should be using (I normally go to 20, which will result in failure after a few sets...).
Cheers
