How to do it
Exhale smoothly as you curl the dumbbell toward your forearm.
- 1
Sit on one side of a flat bench with a dumbbell in hand, palm facing up.
- 2
Lean forward and place your forearm on the bench with your wrist just beyond the edge.
- 3
Curl the dumbbell upwards by flexing your wrist.
- 4
Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Expert tip
Ensure that you keep your forearms flat on the bench and only your wrists are moving. This isolates the forearm muscles effectively.
