Exercise Description

The dumbbell wrist curl builds stronger forearms and grip strength. It directly targets the muscles that help you hold heavier weights in other exercises.

How To

1. Sit on a bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing up 2. Rest your forearms on your thighs with wrists hanging over your knees 3. Let the dumbbells roll down to your fingertips while keeping your forearms still 4. Curl your wrists up by flexing your forearms to lift the weights 5. Lower the dumbbells back to starting position and repeat for your target reps

Form Tips

• Keep your forearms pressed against your thighs throughout the dumbbell wrist curl • Only move at the wrists - your arms should stay completely still • Use a full range of motion by letting the weight roll to your fingertips • Start light with the dumbbell wrist curl - your forearms tire quickly

Common Mistakes

• Moving your forearms instead of just your wrists during the dumbbell wrist curl • Using weights that are too heavy and sacrificing proper form • Not using full range of motion by keeping the dumbbell wrist curl too short
