reverse curl

Forearm strengthening exercise

A reverse curl is a weightlifting exercise targeting the forearms and biceps, performed by curling a barbell or dumbbells upward with an overhand grip—palms facing down rather than up as in a standard curl.

The grip shift emphasizes the brachioradialis and forearm extensors: Add reverse curls to build grip strength.
