Dumbbell Wrist Curl
Overview
This exercise focuses on your wrist and forearm strength. You wll primarily be using your brachioradialis, which extends from your elbow to the middle of your forearm. It’s the muscle that flexes your forearm.
You wll also be working out the extrinsic muscles, which reach from the middle of your forearm to your hand, which flex and rotate your wrist.
Instructions
First, sit down on a flat bench, so you can use your legs to stabilize your arms. Rest your forearms on your thigh, your wrist right on the knees, with your palms facing up as you grip the dumbbells.
Drop your wrist down, and curl it back up, up and down very smoothly.
Tips
A lot of people try this with big weights, but that’s a common mistake. The muscles in your forearm aren’t very big, so you don’t need to use big weights. They could over extend your wrists.
I recommend a higher rep range, like three sets of 10 to 15 reps.
And that’s your basic dumbbell wrist curl. I can already feel the burn here. I think you will, too. Thanks for watching!
