Dumbbell Finger Curls
The finger curl seated with dumbbells: forearms on the thighs, the fingers alone open and close around the handles.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, forearms along the thighs, palms up, a dumbbell in each hand beyond the knees.
Steps
- Uncurl the fingers until the handles sit at the tips.
- Roll them back into the palms by closing the fingers.
- Hold the wrists flat on the line of the forearms.
Common mistakes
Wrist curling along with the fingers: that is a wrist curl; fingers only. Handles slipping out at the bottom: stop while the tips still hook them. Forearms rolling off the thighs: keep them flat.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
