Exercise Description

The barbell wrist curl builds stronger forearms and grip strength. It targets the muscles on the underside of your forearms for better wrist control.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your forearms resting on your thighs, palms facing up 2. Hold the barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart 3. Let your wrists drop down so the barbell rolls to your fingertips 4. Curl your wrists up by flexing your forearms, lifting the barbell as high as possible 5. Lower the barbell wrist curl slowly back to starting position and repeat

Form Tips

• Keep your forearms pressed against your thighs throughout the barbell wrist curl • Move only at the wrists - don't lift your forearms off your legs • Use a full range of motion from fingertips to maximum wrist flexion • Control the weight on the way down for better muscle activation

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing control of the barbell wrist curl movement • Lifting your forearms off your thighs instead of isolating the wrists • Moving too fast and not getting the full stretch at the bottom of each rep
