4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Barbell Wrist Curl Wide Legs is a free weights exercise targeting Forearms (Flexor Carpi Radialis, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris) using Barbell.

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Sit on a bench with your feet spread wide apart, holding a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up), hands placed shoulder-width apart. Rest your forearms on the edge of the bench, allowing your wrists to hang over the edge.
  2. Start with your wrists extended so the barbell is lowered as much as possible.
  3. Curl the barbell upward by flexing your wrists, lifting the barbell as high as possible while keeping your forearms stationary on your thighs.
  4. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position by extending your wrists. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
