Form Cues

  • Kneel in front of a flat bench and grab a dumbbell with one hand, palm facing upward (supinated grip)

  • Place your entire forearm flat on the bench with only your wrist and hand hanging over the edge

  • The edge of the bench should sit right at the wrist crease for proper support

  • Start with the wrist extended (hand lowered) to get a full stretch in the forearm flexors

  • Curl the wrist upward by contracting the inner forearm, bringing the dumbbell as high as possible

  • Squeeze the forearm flexors at the top for a full second

  • Lower the weight slowly (2 seconds) back to the fully extended position — control the eccentric

  • Keep your forearm pressed firmly into the bench throughout — only the wrist moves
