How to Perform
1
Start out by placing a barbell on one side of a flat bench.
2
Kneel down on both of your knees so that your body is facing the flat bench.
3
Use your arms to grab the barbell with a supinated grip (palms up) and bring them up so that your forearms are resting against the flat bench. Your wrists should be hanging over the edge.
4
Start out by curling your wrist upwards and exhaling.
5
Slowly lower your wrists back down to the starting position while inhaling.
6
Your forearms should be stationary as your wrist is the only movement needed to perform this exercise.
7
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
