Seated Hammer Wrist Curl

Pro Tip

If your knees get in the way of you lowering the dumbbells, point your legs more outward.

How To

  1. Sit on the edge of the bench while leaning forward with your forearms resting on your thighs, holding two dumbbells with your palms facing each other.
  2. Exhale and bend your wrist upwards while keeping your forearms resting on your thighs.
  3. Continue raising the dumbbells by bending your wrists until you can no longer do so by solely bending at your wrists.
  4. Inhale and lower your wrists, allowing the dumbbells to return to the starting position.
