How to perform

Sit with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing up, supported by your thighs. Lift the weights by bending your wrists, pausing at the top, then slowly return to the initial position. This movement effectively works your forearm flexor muscles.

Tips

Keep your back straight to avoid discomfort and focus on the forearms. Maintain level wrists and elbows during the entire exercise. Consider using a bench for forearm support instead of your knees. Control the movement carefully, favoring form over weight to safeguard your wrists. Perform this exercise following your main lifts to minimize grip fatigue.
