Barbell Finger Curl
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Barbell
HOW TO PERFORM
- Sit on the end of a bench and rest the forearms on the thighs, palms up, with the hands past the knees.
- Let the bar roll down the palms to the fingertips, opening the hands.
- Close the fingers to roll the bar back into the palms, then curl the wrists up.
- Lower under control and repeat.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the forearms flat on the thighs. Lifting them off takes the work away from the fingers and wrists.
