Bodyweight Wrist Curl
The bodyweight wrist curl strengthens the forearm flexors using only your own resistance. Extend one arm with palm up, use the opposite hand to press down against the fingers, and curl the wrist up against the resistance.
How to Perform
Extend one arm in front of you with the palm facing up.
Place the opposite hand on top of the fingers, pressing down gently.
Curl the wrist up against the resistance of your other hand.
Perform slow, controlled reps and squeeze at the top.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Applying too little resistance with the opposing hand, making the exercise too easy.
Moving the entire forearm instead of isolating the wrist.
Rushing through reps instead of using slow, controlled tempo.
