Muscles > Arms > Wrist extensors

Location When standing with palms facing forward, the wrist extensors are at the back of the forearm
Action Straighten the wrist, bringing the knuckles up toward the forearm
Other names Outer forearms
Notes The wrist extensors are often weak, making the wrist prone to injury, because they are used much less than the wrist flexors.

There are many forearm muscles, used in the complex movements of the wrists and hands. Only the most significant for weight training are included here.
