Exercise Description

The reverse barbell curl targets your forearms and builds grip strength. It helps you develop stronger wrists and better overall arm definition.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip 2. Keep your arms close to your sides and your reverse barbell curl grip firm 3. Curl the bar up by flexing your forearms, keeping wrists straight 4. Squeeze at the top of the reverse barbell curl movement 5. Lower the bar slowly back to starting position with control

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight throughout the entire reverse barbell curl movement • Don't swing or use momentum - control the weight with your forearms • Start light with reverse barbell curls until you build up forearm strength • Keep your elbows locked at your sides during the entire movement

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting your wrists bend backward during reverse barbell curls • Swinging the bar or using your back instead of isolating your forearms • Moving too fast on the reverse barbell curl instead of using slow, controlled movements
