Instructions
1. Sit on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand or a barbell with an overhand grip, and place your forearms on your thighs or the bench with your wrists hanging over the edge.
2. Make sure your arms are fully extended and your palms are facing down.
3. Without moving your arms, curl your wrists upward as far as you can, squeezing your forearm muscles.
4. Hold the contraction at the top for a moment.
5. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, usually between 8-15 reps and 2-4 sets depending on your fitness level and goals.
Tips: - Start with lighter weights to ensure proper form and to prevent injury. - Keep the movement controlled, avoiding any swinging or momentum. - Breathe out as you lift (curl) the weight and breathe in as you lower it.
Remember to always perform exercises within your own fitness limits and consult a fitness professional if you're unsure about the correct form or starting a new workout routine.
