How to do dumbbell wrist curl

Coach's Tips

This exercise is great for building strength in the forearm muscles through wrist flexion. It's more effective to focus on low weight with high repetitions rather than lifting heavy weights.

Start Position

1. Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed as you perform the exercise.

2. Avoid swinging the dumbbells or using body momentum to lift the weights.

3. Do not lock your elbows at the movement's peak position.

4. Begin with lighter weights and gradually increase as your strength improves.

Proper Form

1. With the upper arms fixed, breathe out as you curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders.

2. Breathe in as you steadily lower the dumbbells back to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out when curling the dumbbells upward.

2. Breathe in when lowering the dumbbells back to the initial position.

Precautions

1. Sit at the edge of a chair or bench, keeping your feet flat and back straight.

2. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your thighs.
