How to do it

  1. 01

    Start out by placing two dumbbells on the floor in front of a flat bench.

  2. 02

    Sit down on the edge of the flat bench with your legs at about shoulder width apart. Make sure to keep your feet on the floor.

  3. 03

    Use your arms to grab both of the dumbbells and bring them up so that your forearms are resting against your thighs with the palms of the hands facing down. Your wrists should be hanging over the edge of your thighs.

  4. 04

    Start out by curling your wrist upwards and exhaling.

  5. 05

    Slowly lower your wrists back down to the starting position while inhaling. Make sure to inhale during this part of the exercise. Tip: Your forearms should be stationary as your wrist is the only movement needed to perform this exercise.

  6. 06

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

  7. 07

    When finished, simply lower the dumbbells to the floor.

In the app

Seated Dumbbell Palms-Down Wrist Curl appears when you own dumbbells and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have dumbbells

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
