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 Reverse Dumbbell Wrist Curl

Starting Position

1. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and sit on the bench.

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

3. At this time, make your forearm parallel to the ground and bend your wrist downwards.

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
