Technique Summary

Place the forearm of one hand on the end of a bench, with the wrist hanging off, holding the dumbbell with an overhand grip.  Curl your wrist up, exhale, curl it down, inhale.




Technique Details

Seated Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curls could be performed by either placing your forearm on your knee or on a bench.  Hold the dumbbell with a secure grip, your thumb opposing your fingers.  You can do the exercise by alternating arms or by using both simultaneously.

If you choose to perform the seated dumbbell reverse wrist curl by stabilizing your forearm on your knees, you should pay special attention to keep you knees stationary.  Make sure that you do not swing the weight.  Control both the contraction and the relaxation of the extensors.  Keep your wrist completely removed from the support (bench or knees) to allow the greatest range of motion and to keep the pressure on the extensors throughout the exercise.

Seated dumbbell wrist curls target the forearm extensors.
