The major Extensors of the wrist are the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus and the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris. This muscle group originates on the humerous and inserts on the metacarpals of the hand. These muscles are responsible for extension of the wrist.

Trunk Lift - Trunk extensor strength, flexibility and endurance.
Push Up - Upper body strength and endurance (one of 90 degree push-up, alternates= modified pull-up and flexed arm hang)

Knee and hip joint angles and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the knee extensors were recorded.

The foot should be driven down towards the ground by the hip extensor muscles; the hamstrings and glutei muscles should be performing the majority of the work during the hip extension.

The protein tub is used to work the extensors, the small muscles that open up the hand. Now these muscles are not very strong so you can't really train them very heavy.

Tight hip flexors causes the primary hip extensors the gluteus maximus to become lengthened and weak. This is because of the agonist-antagonist relationship which means the glutes and hip flexors are opposing muscles.

Reverse wrist curls: Much like the wrist curl, the reverse wrist curl is performed in a similar fashion only with your palms facing down working your extensors.

Tibialis anterior and ankle extensor muscles: These muscles, which run along the anterior side of each shin, raise the toes and foot during the leg's forward motion (or "swing") phase.

exercise for developing just the wrist flexor muscles of the forearm. It is therefore an isolation exercise. Ideally, it should be done in combination with the reverse wrist curl to ensure equal development of the wrist flexor and wrist extensor ...

abdominals/spinal erectors (abs and lower-back)
left and right external obliques (sides)
quadriceps/hamstrings (quads and hams)

Flexion exercises are superior to hyperextension of back. But this does not mean person should make extensors weak and lazy. This controlled pay out rope activity have to be explained by a professional on sopt.
