Seated Finger Curl (Barbell)

Also known as: Seated Finger Curl (Barbell).

A barbell finger curl with supported forearms.

How to perform this exercise

1. Sit on a flat bench with feet grounded, forearms resting along the thighs and palms upward beyond the knees; hold a light barbell securely in the curled fingers.
2. Close the fingers to roll the bar into the palms, then let it roll back toward the fingers under control without releasing it. Keep the forearms supported; wrist movement is small rather than a full wrist-curl substitute.
