Tyler Twist Guide
The Tyler Twist is a step-by-step Flex Bar drill: load the twist with the assisting hand, then slowly unwind through the working wrist.
Tool: Flex Bar
Benefits:
- Daily: More controlled rotation and return under resistance
- Training: Practice slow eccentric control of the working-side wrist extensors
- Comfort: The assisting hand sets the twist so the working wrist can focus on a slow, controlled unwind
How to:
Set Up: Hold the lower end with the working hand and keep that wrist slightly extended. Grip the top with the assisting hand.
Do:
- Use the assisting hand to twist the top forward and load the bar
- keep the twist as you bring both hands in front
- slowly let the working wrist move toward neutral/flexion so the bar unwinds
- fully unload before resetting.
Equivalent logic:
Twist-bar specific; the key sequence is load first, then slow unwind.
Safety:
Learn the sequence with light resistance first; stop for sharp pain/numbness/tingling; do not let the bar snap back or force a painful end range.
Note: Get the hand positions and sequence right before adding resistance.
