Exercise Description

The reverse dumbbell wrist curl exercise builds strength in your forearm extensors. It helps prevent wrist imbalances and improves grip strength for other lifts.

How To

1. Sit on a bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip 2. Rest your forearms on your thighs with wrists hanging over your knees 3. Keep your forearms pressed down and curl your wrists up as high as possible during the reverse dumbbell wrist curl 4. Squeeze at the top then slowly lower the weight back down 5. Complete your reverse dumbbell wrist curl reps with control on both the up and down movement

Form Tips

• Keep your forearms glued to your thighs throughout the entire reverse dumbbell wrist curl movement • Use a full range of motion - curl up as high as possible and lower all the way down • Move slowly and with control during the reverse dumbbell wrist curl - no bouncing or jerky movements • Start with lighter weight than you think you need - your forearm extensors are weaker than flexors

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and sacrificing form during the reverse dumbbell wrist curl exercise • Lifting your forearms off your thighs which reduces the effectiveness of the reverse dumbbell wrist curl • Moving too fast or using momentum instead of controlled muscle contractions
