How to do it

  1. Sit on a bench and rest your forearms on your thighs, holding a barbell with an overhand grip.
  2. Let your wrists bend down so the bar drops just below your knees.
  3. Lift the backs of your hands up as high as you can, then lower them slowly.
  4. Move only at the wrists and grip the bar firmly so it can't slip out of your hands.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
