About

It is a workout that can strengthen the forearm muscle by bending the wrist. Low weight, high repetitive workout is more effective than heavy weight!

How to Dumbbell Wrist Curl

Starting Position

2. Grab the dumbbell with your palm facing up and place your elbow on your knee.

3. At this time, keep your forearm parallel to the ground and bend your wrist down towards the floor.

Proper Form

1. Please lift your wrist towards your body.

2. Slowly return to the starting position while bearing the weight.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your wrist, and inhale when you lower your wrist.

Precautions
