Instructions

Dumbbell Over Bench Reverse Wrist Curl

  • A flat bench

1. Positioning:

  • Start by kneeling on the floor in front of a flat bench.

  • Adjust the height of the bench so that when you lean over it, your forearms can rest comfortably on the surface.

  • Pick up a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down).

  1. Setup:

    • Place your forearms on the bench with your wrists hanging off the edge. The rest of your body should be aligned and stable.

    • Keep your knees on the ground just below the bench for support, ensuring your back stays straight.

  2. Movement:

    • Begin the exercise by lowering the dumbbells towards the floor by extending your wrists down. This is your starting position.

    • Slowly curl the dumbbells upwards by flexing your wrists. Make sure to keep your forearms resting on the bench throughout the movement.

    • Squeeze at the top of the movement for a brief moment.

  3. Return:

    • Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.

  4. Repetitions:

    • Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips:

  • Keep movements slow and controlled to avoid using momentum.

  • Focus on using your wrist muscles throughout the exercise.

  • If you are new to this exercise, start with lighter weights to master the form before increasing the weight.
