"Alright. What you'll be performing here, is the forearm reverse curls. Pretty much, I usually take a barbell without any weights. Again, if it's too heavy it can cause injuries to the wrist. What you want to do, is you want to lift it up. It's all forearm and wrist action. You don't want to move your shoulders or your biceps into this. So, pretty much keep a straight posture. So, move the wrists upwards and then curl it in. So, that's your reverse curl right there. When you bring it up, you give a good flex. That hits the outside. When you curl it in, that hits the inside of the forearm. You want to do about three sets and ten reps each. Now, if you wanted to you could also switch it out and you can do it. This is the non reverse way. All the way, bring it all the way down to your fingertips. Flex it in. Bring it all the way down, again to your fingertips. So, you could do whichever way you want. I prefer, actually the reverse. You get a better squeeze and a better flex. So, again that was the reverse forearm curl."
