How to do it
Keep your grip firm but relaxed to allow full wrist flexion.
- 1
Stand upright holding an EZ-bar with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Rest your forearms on a flat bench or your thighs, so that your wrists hang over the edge.
- 3
Curl the bar upwards by flexing your wrists and squeezing your forearms.
- 4
Lower the bar back down with control to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your elbows stationary and avoid using momentum to curl the weight; focus on isolating the wrist movement.
