How to do Seated Barbell Wrist Curl

Description of the Seated Barbell Wrist Curl

Seated Barbell Wrist Curl

One variation on the wrist curl that works the forearm muscles is the seated barbell wrist curl.

Simply by strengthening your grip having strong forearms and training them in a variety of methods will enable you to lift larger weights throughout numerous workouts.

Forearms can be difficult muscles to strengthen therefore it might take more training sessions to see a discernible increase in forearm size and strength.

Guidelines for a Seated Barbell Wrist Curl

  • After deciding on the weight you want to use load it onto the bar and sit such that your forearms are comfortably resting on your thighs.
  • Using only your wrists curl the bar towards your body with a supinated (palms up) grip.
  • Return the weight to the starting position carefully after the forearm flexors have fully contracted.
  • Continue till the desired number of times.

Tips for Seated Barbell Wrist Curls

  • The exercise’s slow eccentric (lowering) phase can aid in reducing tension and enhancing the mind-muscle connection.
  • Aim to move through the wrist rather than opening the fingers at the bottom of the movement.
