wrist curl

Dumbbell forearm lift

A wrist curl is a weight training exercise that isolates the forearm muscles.

Holding a dumbbell or barbell with the forearm resting on a bench or thigh, you curl the weight by flexing only at the wrist: Three sets of wrist curls will burn out your forearms.

Performed palm-up to work the flexors or palm-down (reverse wrist curl) to target the extensors.
