Tips for Performing Weighted Seated One Arm Wrist Curl
- **Correct Grip**: Hold a dumbbell with a secure but not overly tight grip. Your thumb should be wrapped around the handle and the weight should rest on your fingers, not your palm. Avoid gripping the weight too tightly as this can cause unnecessary tension and strain in your hand and forearm.
- **Controlled Movement**: Slowly lower the weight as far as comfortably possible, then curl the weight back up towards your forearm. The movement should be controlled and focused on the wrist, not the arm. Avoid the common mistake of using your arm or shoulder to lift the weight as this can lead to injury and detracts from the effectiveness of the exercise
