How to do it
Keep the bar moving strictly up and down without sideways drift.
- 1
Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, holding an EZ-bar with an overhand grip.
- 2
Rest your forearms on your thighs with your wrists just beyond your knees.
- 3
Curl the bar upwards by extending your wrists.
- 4
Lower the bar back down with control to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Sit with your back straight and avoid using momentum to curl the bar; focus on using your forearm strength.
Common mistakes
- ✕Raising forearms off thighs mid-rep
- ✕Stopping short of full wrist extension at top
