I love how simple and easy it is to follow your instructions. I often get overwhelmed watching these workout videos. This is easy to understand and follow
Great tips. My form improved ten folds. There was one in particular where you mentioned positioning the wrists upwards and where to focus your mind (on the forearm). Super helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for the help that is reminding me of the things that I have known before I was inflicted with a Traumatic Brain Injury, I have been trying to get my mind and body to coordinate effectively while I get back to the point that I have lost.
I am starting to do them. Great, and underrated, exercise. I started because I injured my elbow joint from overwork doing negative pullups. I noticed my back and shoulders were strong, but my forearms were weak. So I now do those reverse curls and some other wrist curls and reverse wrist curls, for my forearms. They feel much stronger now and less injury prone. As to standard dumbbell curls, I don't bother. Most pulling exercises work your biceps anyway, so unless you are a professional bodybuilder, I don't see the use of those. Thanks for the tutorial. Peace.
Great video! I’m working on pull ups but have found them difficult, due in part to weak brachioradialis muscles. This exercise will help strengthen these weak muscles in my forearm. Thank you!
thanks for the helpful tutorial! I'm trying to make my arms look bigger from the front and heard this exercise helps, will definitely put this into my routine bro
interesting and different exercise using dumbbells to achieve bigger and better results , sets and reps coverage and demonstration makes a lot of difference ,, great share.
What helped me was holding the dumbbell on the farthest right for the right side and farthest left for the left side if that makes sense. Also put your thumb over with the rest of your fingers. That’s what helps me at least
Thank you for the tip about the lighter weight dumbbell with this exercise. I am adapting to doing 24 lbs per arm with bicceps, reverse hammer, and cross body curls and thought I could adapt with the reverse curl. However, I began doing 2:19 a lot. I knew it was wrong but couldn't control it no matter how i placed my arms. I checked this video out. That 10 lbs drop (in my case less than 9 lbs) made a world of difference. Dropped my 24 lbs which is 5 1/4 kgs per side of dumbbell down to 3 1/4 kgs and that got me 15 1/3 lbs total per arm. With that, my forearms could maintain control in my elbows and lower arm with that weight in bending motion with ease. Really direct to the forearm muscle I needed.
Hey Kyle, thanks for writing in and great question! All of those are great forearms movements but don't forget emphasizing compound pulling/rowing motions too. They will also help in a secondary manner while working your larger muscle groups too. And can't forget about the heart-pumping Farmer's Walks too==> ruclips.net/video/nqGfgIVteoM/видео.html Happy lifting! -The FFP Team
As much as I try and focus on elbows pinned (which I do), my dumbbells don't seem to hold up with great form, like yours. I'm using low weight too. I have had wrist surgery, but that was over 10 years ago.
Great questions! Your arms may actually respond better to higher reps so we recommend doing about 3 sets at 12-15 reps. We normally recommend progressive sets for larger muscle groups so for your biceps, simply traditional sets (close or approaching failure) should do the trick. Best of luck! -The FFP Team
Hey Usopp, thanks for writing in and great question! Assuming you are referring to straps, they can be quite useful. However, they shouldn't be used as a crutch as they are beneficial when lifting VERY heavy weight. Meaning if your forearms give out before the intended muscle, it's a great time to use them. Otherwise, try going without to work on your grip strength with your pulling/rowing motions. -The FFP Team
Hey Visored, thanks for writing in! I can do you one better and send over this helpful video in helping you start cranking out some quality pull-ups: ruclips.net/video/G1akmeQRM_E/видео.html -The FFP Team
Hey Neel, thanks for writing in and great question! This movement does target the forearms a great deal but if looking to add another, consider trying the Farmer's Walk to really boost your grip strength and fire up those arms: ruclips.net/video/nqGfgIVteoM/видео.html -The FFP Team
Hey Krelbar, thanks for writing in and great question! You can absolutely angle them in a different manner as you are simply working your forearms/biceps from a new angle. The greater variety you provide the better so definitely keep it going if it works better for your equipment! -The FFP Team
My forearms are growing ever since I incorporated doing reverse forearm curls!
@dsskater539 sckupty famer carries helped alot top
Can some tell me how to exactl increase my wrist size? What exercise did you do and did it work?
@@kishorekumar624 ok
@@kishorekumar624 reverse curls and wrist curls
👍
Reverse curls are such a great and easy exercise for forearms. Never thought of adding fat grips to the dumbbells, great idea!
That is a great tip to your arms from getting injured.

I used to do this exercise a while back but somehow got left in the dust. Great FORM here. Thanks for reminding me. Will start doing again!

IM HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
I have no idea how he does them so perfect. I do them and I pronate twist automatically or bow my arms out
🙌
What helped me was holding the dumbbell on the farthest right for the right side and farthest left for the left side if that makes sense. Also put your thumb over with the rest of your fingers. That’s what helps me at least
Awesome my friend! 🙏
Wonderful tips here - I know someone who can't wait to give these a try.
Me? Lol! I love these videos!
this is really amazing. but it looks quite difficult to workout. somehow i will give a try to maintain good shape. thanks for your wonderful videos.

Definitely going to add reverse curls to my routine
This guy deserves more views 👌👌
Thank you very much Brother 👍🏼
This exercise is good for biceps too? I mean for the brachialis or something like that, it helps to adding with to your biceps when relaxed?
Succinct and informative. Following for more .....
cool. i thought i was super immobile not bein able to hold them horizontal :D thanz boi
Tip: This is also good to get better at pull ups :) so if you‘re struggling with them try to build up the brachioradialis
Hold at the top of the movement and squeeze hard then lower slowly down no rush
Very great workout
Thank you very much 🙏

Awesome my friend! Lowering the weight and performing the exercise correctly makes a huge difference 💪
great video! only one thing, the audio is on the left side only. it get a bit annoying
My left ear really enjoyed this
hammer curls, reverse curls and behind the back wrist curls would be enough to grow good forearms?

Hi Claudia, try to slow down and control the movement 🙏
Hey brother just a heads up, when your speaking the audio only comes out one headphone
What's the difference between this and hammer curls?
I have a question, should you do reverse dumbbells sitting down?
Great question! You sure can though anytime you can do a move standing, you will get your core more actively involved.
Best of luck!

Does this target most of the forearm? If not, then what exercise would you recommend that’d target most of the forearm?

Reverse curls eh? I love this. The fat grip is a good idea, thanks once again doctor
my adjustable and plate dumbells are pretty long and i have to angle my arms a bit to keep them from hitting. Is that acceptable?
Hey Krelbar, thanks for writing in and great question! You can absolutely angle them in a different manner as you are simply working your forearms/biceps from a new angle. The greater variety you provide the better so definitely keep it going if it works better for your equipment!
