How to Perform Seated Wrist Curl

The seated dumbbell wrist curl is an isolation exercise that targets the forearm flexor muscles by emphasizing wrist flexion under controlled resistance. Performed while seated with the forearm supported on the thigh or a bench and the palm facing upward, the movement involves curling the dumbbell by flexing the wrist while keeping the arm stationary. Using a slow, controlled tempo and a full range of motion helps strengthen the forearms, improve grip endurance, and support wrist stability.
