Barbell Revers Wrist Curl V. 2

Grab a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down. Rest your forearms on a flat surface or the edge of a bench, with your wrists slightly hanging off the edge. Slowly lower the barbell by flexing your wrists, and then lift it back up by extending your wrists. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
