4. Wrist curl. Hold the DB in your hand with palm facing up. Rest the arm on a flat surface with wrist hanging over the edge. Now curl the weight up toward your forearm by bending your wrist forward. Lower and repeat.

Reverse wrist curl. Hold the DB in your hand with palms facing down. Rest the arm on a flat surface with wrist hanging over the edge. Now curl the weight up toward your forearm by bending your wrist backwards. Lower and repeat.
