Finger Curls

Barbell Forearms

The Finger Curls is a strength movement that targets your forearms. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Finger Curls

  1. Sit with your forearms resting on your thighs, barbell held at the fingertips.
  2. Curl your fingers up to close your grip fully, then lower back to fingertips.
  3. Keep wrists roughly neutral—this is a finger movement, not a wrist curl.
  4. Use a light load; the range of motion is small and the tendons fatigue quickly.
