Dumbbell Seated Neutral Wrist Curl
Description
The dumbbell seated neutral wrist curl is performed seated with the forearms braced on the thighs and a hammer (neutral) grip on the dumbbells. By flexing the wrists laterally with the neutral grip, you train the brachioradialis and ulnar deviators of the wrist. It is a different stimulus than standard supinated or pronated wrist curls.
