Setup / Starting Position
  • Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the ground, knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
  • Hold a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up), hands positioned shoulder-width apart.
  • Rest your forearms on your thighs or on the bench, allowing your wrists to hang off the edge.
Exercise Position
  • Curl the barbell upwards by flexing your wrists, bringing your hands towards your forearms as far as comfortable.
  • Keep your forearms stable and avoid moving them during the exercise.
Form & Performance
  • Lower the barbell back down towards the starting position under control, allowing your wrists to extend and stretch the muscles.
  • Avoid letting the weight drop suddenly or bouncing at the bottom of the movement.
