Wrist Curls, Contracted: Forearm Flexors


  • The same as reverse wrist
    curls, except you use a palms
    up grip on the bar. This
    movement works the forearm
    flexors on the underside of the
    lower arm.

  • Take an overhand, palms-down, grip on the bar,
    with about 10 inches between your thumbs.

  • Rest your forearms on your thighs or on a bench.

  • Allow the bar to pull your hands down, then curl
    it up to the highest point possible with forearm
    extensor strength alone.

  • Pause at the top for a count, then slowly release.


Reverse Wrist Curls, Contracted: Forearm Extensors

The regular deadlift can be classified as a
midrange midback exercise or a midrange
quad exercise. While
you use your legs to
power through the
first two-thirds of the
stroke, it’s almost a full-body exercise. No
matter how you classify it, it’s one of the
best all-around mass moves available.
