- 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 extending your wrists and engaging the top of your forearms.
- 4
Lower the bar back down with control to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
