Dumbbell One Arm Revers Wrist Curl

Hold a dumbbell in one hand with an underhand grip. Place your forearm on a bench or a flat surface with your palm facing down. Keeping your arm stationary, curl your wrist upwards, squeezing your forearms. Slowly lower your wrist back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other hand.
