Stand with your feet slightly apart and your arms straight. Use an overhand grip, palm down for best results. Inhale and curl the bar.
1. Start with the barbell down against your legs. Your arms are extended straight. Contract your biceps and forearms until your forearms are horizontal to the floor. Exhale while you complete the movement.
2. Return bar to starting position for the next repetition.
Notes: This exercise works the extensors of the wrists and fingers, as well as the brachioradialis, brachialis, and to a lesser degree, the biceps.
This is an excellent movement for strengthening the wrist joint, primarily the extensors. Generally, the wrist flexors are much stronger, thus this will help keep balance in the wrist.
