Reverse Curl

How to

Barbell
  1. 1 Overhand grip on the bar at the thighs.
  2. 2 Curl up keeping the wrists straight.
  3. 3 Lower slowly.

Tips

  • The overhand grip works the forearms and brachialis; expect less weight than a regular curl.
  • An EZ bar is kinder to the wrists.
  • Keep the knuckles pointing up the whole time.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the wrists bend down.
  • Swinging the bar up.
  • Elbows moving away from the sides.
