Beginning
Beginning Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curl
1. Sit on a bench and use an overhand grip to hold a dumbbell in each hand. Your elbows should be resting on your thighs.
2. Curl your wrists up while lifting the dumbbells, keeping your arms stationary. Return the weights to their initial position slowly.
Movement
Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curl Movement
1. As the forearm is not a very large muscle and is not very often trained so specifically, select a relatively light set of dumbbells.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and allow your arms to hang by your sides. Your palms should be facing in toward the side of your thighs, wrists in line with your forearms. Your feet should be placed about shoulder-width apart. Draw up your spine and make sure that your head, shoulders, hips, and knees are in line.
3. Extend your wrists out to the side. This is a small but very distinct movement. At the top of the lift, your palm will be facing the floor. In a slow and controlled manner, allow the wrists to return to the start position such that the wrists and forearms are aligned. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.
