To perform dumbbell forearm twists, rotate your palms up and down while keeping your elbows close to your sides.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Starting Position: Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your elbows close to your sides throughout the exercise.
-
Execution:
- Rotate your palms up as far as you comfortably can, feeling the muscles in your forearms working.
- Then, rotate your palms down as far as you comfortably can. Aim for a full range of motion.
-
Repetitions: Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on controlled movements.
Key Points:
- Keep your elbows close to your body. This isolates the forearm muscles.
- Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form. It's better to start light and increase the weight as you get stronger.
- Focus on controlled movements to avoid injury.
