list_alt Step-by-Step Instructions
Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent.
Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and your hands shoulder-width apart.
Rest your forearms on your thighs, allowing your wrists to hang off the edge.
Keeping your forearms stationary, exhale and curl your wrists upward as far as possible.
Hold the contracted position for a brief pause, then inhale and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
warning Common Mistakes
Recruiting larger muscle groups to "help" move the weight instead of isolating Forearms — swinging momentum or shifting the torso takes tension off the muscle this exercise is meant to train.
Rounding the upper back or shrugging the shoulders up toward the ears at the start of the pull instead of initiating with the target muscle.
Using an asymmetric grip or uneven bar path, which can quietly overload one side of the body over repeated sets.
Progressing the load or reps too quickly before technique is consistent across every rep of every set.
