Wrist Curl With Barbell, Overhand Grip, Seated

Starting Position

• pick up a barbell with over hand grip (palms of the hands are turned to the body)
• sit down on a weight bench or a chair, your back is straight
• spread the legs about shoulder width
• slightly bend your upper body forwards
• rest the forearms on your thighs
• the wrists emerge a bit and are still moveable
• let the weight hang down with bent wrists

Correct Execution

• guide the barbell up again by bending the wrists up as high as you can, do not gain momentum
• the forearms stay onto your thighs and do not move
• the motion only happens in the wrists
• the rest of the body remains in starting position
• hold the position for a moment
• let the barbell sink down into the starting position again
• repeat the exercise several times for an effective forearm workout
