Dumbbell Wrist Rotation
Kneeling at a bench with the forearm along it and the hand past the edge, a dumbbell held in the middle rolls from palm-down to palm-up and back.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling beside a flat bench, the forearm along it, the hand just past the edge gripping a dumbbell in the middle.
Steps
- Turn the palm up as far as the forearm allows.
- Turn it back over until the palm faces down.
- Keep the elbow and the forearm still on the bench.
Common mistakes
Lifting the forearm to help the turn: it stays on the bench; only the hand rotates. Letting the bell drop at either end: slow the turn before each stop. Bending the wrist: keep it straight.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
