Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curl
The dumbbell reverse wrist curl targets the forearm extensors on the back of the forearm, which are essential for grip balance and injury prevention. Rest your forearms on a bench with palms down and extend your wrists upward.
How to Perform
Sit with your forearms resting on your thighs or a bench, palms facing down.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your wrists hanging over the edge.
Extend your wrists upward as high as possible.
Lower slowly back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using too heavy a weight — the extensors are much weaker than the flexors.
Moving the entire forearm instead of isolating the wrist.
Going too fast and missing the mind-muscle connection.
