Major muscles used
Performing wrist curls
- Sit at the end of a bench with your legs slightly wider than hip-width apart.
- Hold a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) about 6-8 inches apart, with your hands slightly over your knees.
- The top-side of your forearms should be resting on your thighs.
- Keeping your arms stationary, curl the barbell up (at wrists) towards your body as far as possible.
- Hold for a brief second flexing your forearms.
- Return to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.
Be careful
- Don't allow your arm to rise up off your thigh. Your arms should be stationary at all times.
