How to perform

To perform the Dumbbell Over Bench One Arm Reverse Wrist Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Sit on one end of a bench and hold a dumbbell in one hand with an overhand grip (palm facing downwards). Rest your forearm on the bench so that your wrist is hanging over the edge.

2. Allow the dumbbell to roll down your fingers and then use your wrist extensor muscles to curl the weight back up towards you, keeping your forearm stationary on the bench.

3. Slowly lower the dumbbell back down towards the starting position, maintaining control and using the wrist extensor muscles to resist gravity.

4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.

5. Make sure to keep your wrist straight and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Focus on contracting the wrist extensor muscles throughout the movement for maximum effectiveness.

This exercise can help improve grip strength and forearm muscular endurance. It is important to start with a light weight and gradually increase the resistance as you become stronger. As with any exercise, proper form is crucial to prevent injury, so be sure to maintain control and focus on the muscle being targeted.
