Barbell reverse curl

How to do it

1. Stand holding the bar with a pronated grip at shoulder width.
2. Keep your elbows pinned to your sides and your wrists firm.
3. Bend your elbows, curling the bar toward your shoulders without rotating your wrists.
4. Squeeze at the top, keeping the pronated grip.
5. Lower under control until your arms fully extend.

Common mistakes

• Letting the wrists drop instead of keeping them firm
