Barbell Wrist Curl: how to do it and form tips

A direct forearm flexor exercise performed with a barbell resting on your thighs or a bench. Builds wrist and grip strength.

Form tips

Sit with forearms resting on your thighs or a bench, wrists just past the edge.
Let the bar roll to the fingertips on the way down, then curl back up.
Use lighter weight than you think — wrist flexors are small muscles.
