What to think about
- Forearms stay flat and still.
- Let the hands drop for a full stretch.
- Curl the hands up as high as they will go.
How to do it
- Start out by placing two dumbbells on one side of a flat bench.
- Kneel down on both of your knees so that your body is facing the flat bench.
- Use your arms to grab both of the dumbbells with a supinated grip (palms up) and bring them up so that your forearms are resting against the flat bench. Your wrists should be hanging over the edge.
- Start out by curling your wrist upwards and exhaling.
- Slowly lower your wrists back down to the starting position while inhaling. Make sure to inhale during this part of the exercise.
- Your forearms should be stationary as your wrist is the only movement needed to perform this exercise.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
