Pro Tip

Controlled Movements: This exercise is not about the speed or the weight of the barbell, but about the control of the movement. Slowly lower the barbell as far as possible, then curl your wrists upward as far as they can go. Make sure to keep the rest of your arm stationary, the movement should only be in your wrists. Rushing through the movements can lead to strain or injury. Appropriate Weight: Use a weight that is challenging but manageable for you. It's a common mistake to use too heavy a weight, which can lead to poor form and potential injury. Start with a lighter weight and
