Instructions

1. Sit down on a flat bench with your legs opened. The width should be about the same width as your shoulders.

2. Grasp a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) at shoulder width, and place your forearms on your thighs with your wrists hanging over your knees.

3. Let the barbell roll down to your fingertips by extending your wrists towards the floor.

4. Curl your wrists upwards toward your biceps, bringing the barbell back up as far as possible.

5. Squeeze your forearms at the top of the movement for a moment.

6. Lower the barbell back to the starting position by extending the wrists.

7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Make sure to control the motion throughout the exercise and avoid using your biceps or shoulders to lift the weight. The focus should be on the wrist flexors of the forearms. Adjust the weight so that you can perform the exercise with proper form and without straining your wrists.
