Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

You should feel it inForearms / grip

Forearm muscles burning.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Move only the wrist, slowly, full range.”

Tempo · Up 1 s · down 2 s

Choosing the load: Pick a weight you finish with 1–2 good reps left. 4+ left = too light; form breaks = too heavy.

Feel it in ElbowsElbow discomfort. Go lighter and keep the forearm supported on your thigh or a bench.
Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.

Sit facing a low pulley with a straight bar attached.
Reversing the grip changes the angle — start lighter than usual.
Go lighter than on wrist curls — the wrist extensors are much weaker.
Strong extensors balance your grip and may help reduce the risk of tennis elbow.
Stand far enough from the stack to keep constant tension on the cable.
