1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Sit on a flat bench with a dumbbell in your right hand.
Place your feet flat on the floor, at a distance that is slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
Lean forward and place your right forearm on top of your upper right thigh with your palm up. Tip: Make sure that the front of the wrist lies on top of your knees. This will be your starting position.
Lower the dumbbell as far as possible as you keep a tight grip on the dumbbell. Inhale as you perform this movement.
Now curl the dumbbell as high as possible as you contract the forearms and as you exhale. Keep the contraction for a second before you lower again. Tip: The only movement should happen at the wrist.
Perform for the recommended amount of repetitions, switch arms and repeat the movement.

Your progress
Keep the same dumbbell setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Seated One-Arm Dumbbell Palms-Up Wrist Curl sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
