Reverse Wrist Curl Forearm Exercise
Reverse Barbell Wrist Curl
The reverse wrist curl develops the outer forearms (the wrist extensors).
Reverse Wrist Curl Technique & Execution
- Holding a barbell with an overhand grip
- Place your forearms across a bench so they are parallel to the floor with your wrist and hands extended just beyond the bench
- Start with your wrists lowered as far as it can go
- Then curl your hands upwards to lift the barbell as high up as you can
- Then lower back down to starting position
- Avoid moving your forearms during this exercise
Variations: reverse wrist curls can also be performed holding a dumbbell in each hand instead of a barbell. This allows each forearm to work independently of each other during the exercise. See reverse dumbbell wrist curls below.
