Dumbbell wrist curl
- Hold a dumbbell with your palm facing up. Rest your forearm on a stable surface so your wrist hangs off the edge.
- Slowly lower the weight towards the floor.
- Curl your wrist upward as high as possible.
Tips
- Keep your forearm flat and still on the surface throughout the set so only your wrist moves.
- Lower the dumbbell under control until your wrist reaches a comfortable end range, then curl it upward through your full available range of motion.
- Keep your grip firm enough that the dumbbell stays stable throughout the movement rather than rolling in your fingers.
Common mistakes
- Lifting the forearm off the surface during the curl so the elbow and upper arm assist the movement.
- Using a weight that causes the wrist to drop abruptly on the way down rather than lowering with control.
