How to do it

1. Kneel on the floor in front of a bench, placing both forearms over the bench while holding a dumbbell with an overhand grip (palm facing down).
2. Rest your wrists just off the edge of the bench, allowing the dumbbells to hang downward.
3. Curl the dumbbells upward by flexing your wrists, lifting the weight as high as possible while keeping your forearms flat on the bench.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, fully extending your wrists. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your forearms pressed firmly against the bench to isolate the wrist movement.
• Use a controlled motion to lift and lower the dumbbells, avoiding any jerking movements.
• Avoid using your shoulder or upper arm to lift the weight.
