Barbell Behind Back Finger Curl
The finger curl behind the back: the bar rolls down to the fingertips and the fingers alone roll it back into the palms, wrists still.
How to do it
Setup
Bar held behind the thighs at arm's length, palms turned back, standing tall.
Steps
- Open the fingers slowly until the bar rests at their tips.
- Close them one joint at a time to roll it back up.
- Keep the wrists and elbows still throughout.
Common mistakes
Curling the wrists too: only the fingers move in this one. Letting the bar drop off the fingertips: stop at the last joint. Leaning forward to see the bar: stand tall and move by feel.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
