Finger Curls

Technique

How to perform Finger Curls

1. Sit on a stable bench or chair with your forearms supported on your thighs, or kneel beside a bench with your forearms resting on it.
2. Hold a barbell palms-up with your hands around shoulder width and your hands clear of the support.
3. Keep your forearms supported and your wrists still throughout the set.
4. Slowly open your fingers enough to let the bar roll toward them while keeping secure control of it.
5. Close your fingers to draw the bar back into your palms without adding a wrist curl or lifting your forearms.
6. Repeat the controlled finger opening and closing, then secure the bar before leaving the setup.
