How to do it
Dumbbell wrist curl
Wrist flexion with two dumbbells, forearms resting on a bench, which strengthens the forearm flexors and grip.
Form. Kneel beside a bench with your forearms resting on it and your wrists past the edge, palms up; let the dumbbells lower with control and raise them by flexing only your wrists.
Common mistake. Lifting your forearms off the bench, using momentum, letting your fingers open with loads you cannot control, or using short ranges.
