Exercise/Body/Strength/Reverse Curl

• Reverse Curl

  • Practice an overhand-grip elbow curl that trains the brachioradialis on the top of the forearm.

  • Setup

    • Stand holding a barbell or EZ bar with an overhand grip about shoulder width apart, arms hanging straight and elbows at your sides.

  • Practice

    • Bend the elbows to curl the bar up toward the shoulders without letting the elbows drift forward, then lower it under control.

  • Dose and Progression

    • Sets, repetitions, resistance, and rest follow the training plan. In the video it pairs with the Exercise/Body/Strength/Reverse Wrist Roll in a ladder taken to failure.

  • Cues and Variations

    • Keep the wrists straight and the bar in the palms; as you tire the bar tends to roll into the fingers. Use a lighter bar than for a Exercise/Body/Strength/Biceps Curl.
