Barbell Reverse Wrist Curl · Preview
Setup
Sit on a bench with your forearms supported on your thighs and hold the bar palms down. Let your wrists move freely just beyond your knees.
Start phase
Keep your forearms still and extend your wrists to lift the backs of your hands.
End phase
Lower the bar slowly to the starting position. Keep your fingers wrapped around it.
Target muscles
Use the muscles on the outer side of your forearms to move your wrists, without lifting from your elbows.
Common mistakes
Avoid lifting your whole arms or bouncing your wrists. Stay within a comfortable range.
Breathing
Exhale as you lift the backs of your hands and inhale as you lower the bar.
Coach tip
Start lighter than you would for a regular wrist curl. Control the small wrist movement while keeping your forearms supported.
