Seated finger curls

For Seated Finger Curls, choose a comfortable spot. In the gym, a weight bench is suitable, while at home, a regular bench or chair will suffice. Ensure stability by firmly placing your legs on the ground. Lean your upper body forward, allowing your elbows to rest on the weight bench. Now, grab a barbell with a narrow underhand grip. Focus your gaze on the barbell, with your forearm running parallel to the ground, and your hands and fingers hanging downward.

Movement execution

Initiate the movement by exhaling and gently curling your fingers upward. Both the lower and upper arms should maintain the same position. The barbell is lifted only a few centimeters, with the primary movement originating from the fingers. While the wrists may experience minimal movement, they should generally remain in the same position, with the fingers doing the main work. Inhale as you lower the fingers back to the starting position.
