How to do it

  1. Put one hand and knee on a bench with your back flat and a dumbbell in the other hand.
  2. Raise your upper arm in line with your torso, parallel to the floor, and bend your elbow to about 90°.
  3. Straighten your arm back until it's fully extended, then return it slowly.
  4. Keep your upper arm locked in place so only your forearm moves.

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