Reverse Plate Curls

This variation of the curl uses a single weight plate and a palms-down grip to engage your biceps and forearms together.

Instructions

1. Stand tall holding a weight plate with both hands in front of your body, arms fully extended.
2. Grip the plate with palms facing down, fingers on the rough side and thumbs on the smooth side.
3. Keeping elbows in and upper arms still, curl the plate upward until it touches your chest.
4. Squeeze at the top, then slowly lower the plate to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
