The Reverse Curl is one of the
most underused exercises for the upper arms in existence.
The reason? It's humbling. You can't use a whole lot of weight
with it (unless you've worked at it or unless you're doing
it wrong).
But MAN, when you DO work at
the reverse curl...it plays a big role in maximizing arm size
and developing forearms and grip strength.
And grip strength is where this
version of the Reverse Curl is focused.
Instead of gripping the bar
firmly with all your fingers wrapped around, you're going
to use a modified pinch grip. It's not a "true"
pinch grip (which is where you're pinching something in between
your thumb and index finger).
This pinch grip has just wrapping
your thumbs and index fingers around the bar and doing the
reverse curl like that. Here's what I'm talking about...
Now it's a simple matter of
performing the Reverse Curl with that modified pinch grip.
It's not so bad when you start
out (I've just got 10 lb plates on the bar) but as the set
goes on, your forearms will be lighting up!
When you feel like you can't
hold onto the bar any longer, grip it with ALL your fingers
and try and squeeze a rep or two more. Since those two digits
are the real workhorses of your grip, it won't be many but
it's a good burnout.
This is a good "finishing"
exercise for a workout simply because your grip will be pretty
toasted after a set or two of this. It's a great way to build
finger strength and overall grip strength.
