Reverse forearm curls with the dumbbell
Reverse forearm curls can be specifically performed using the dumbbell. There are distinct differences from the conventional forearm curls with the dumbbell, as the movements occur in the opposite direction. In the following section, you will find detailed information on body posture and the execution of various variations.
Body position
The body position varies with the reverse forearm curls using the barbell depending on the chosen variant. You can perform this exercise either seated on a weight bench or kneeling in front of a weight bench. Your back should always be straight, and a slight arch protects the spine. However, crucial for correct execution is the positioning of your forearms and hands. The forearms are parallel to the ground, and the wrists are tilted downward in the starting position.
Movement execution
In the kneeling variant in front of the weight bench, you begin the exercise with your forearms resting on the bench. While exhaling, you now extend the wrists, which were hanging down before, upwards. Ensure that the end position of the wrists feels comfortable. Then inhale and slowly lower the wrists. In the seated variant, the forearms are parallel to the front, while the wrists hang down. While exhaling, you now extend the wrists upward, so they form a line with the forearms. Subsequently, return to the starting position. Pay attention to a slow and controlled execution of the movement.
