How to Forearm Workout

Starting Position

1. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body throughout the exercise.

2. Avoid swinging the weights up with momentum; focus on using your forearm muscles to curl the weight up.

3. Make sure to use a weight that is appropriate for your strength level.

Proper Form

1. Keeping your elbows close to your body, slowly curl the dumbbells up to shoulder height.

2. Pause for a second, then lower the weights back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you lower the weights, and exhale as you lift them up.

Precautions

1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and a dumbbell in each hand. You can also do this exercise standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle and hold the dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing up.
