Barbell Forearms

The Wrist Rotations with Straight Bar is a strength movement that targets your forearms. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Wrist Rotations with Straight Bar

  1. Hold the bar with an overhand grip, upper arms braced against your body.
  2. Roll the bar forward through your fingers, then curl it back up using your wrists.
  3. Keep your elbows tucked and your upper arms stationary.
  4. Use a light load — control and full range of motion matter more than weight.
