One Arm Dumbbell Reverse Curl · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Stand tall holding one dumbbell with an overhand grip, back of the hand up. Keep your elbow beside your torso and let the other arm rest naturally.

STEP 2

Start phase

Keep your wrist angle and curl using your forearm. Brace your core so your torso does not lean away.

STEP 3

End phase

Lower slowly while keeping tension in your forearm. Keep the overhand grip when your arm is fully extended.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Feel the top of your forearm and brachioradialis tighten. Working one side at a time makes forearm differences easier to notice.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Bending your wrist or leaning away reduces forearm engagement. Prioritize a stable torso and neutral wrist over weight.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower. Keep breathing steadily one side at a time.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Start with the weaker side and match its reps and speed on the stronger side. Lower slowly while keeping your wrist straight.
