Barbell Wrist Curl

How to do it

1. Sit on a bench and rest your forearms on your thighs, palms up, wrists just past your knees.
2. Hold a barbell and let your wrists drop back, letting the bar roll to your fingertips.
3. Roll it back up and curl your wrists as high as they go.
4. Squeeze, then lower slowly.
5. Rolling to the fingertips is what makes this a grip exercise as well as a forearm one.
