- Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent.
- Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and your hands shoulder-width apart.
- Rest your forearms on your thighs, allowing your wrists to hang off the edge.

Sets and reps
For muscle growth, 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps with 60–90 seconds of rest is a proven starting point. For strength, use a heavier weight for 3–5 sets of 3–6 reps and rest 2–3 minutes. Add a little weight once you hit the top of your rep range on every set.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the forearms. The biceps and brachialis work as secondary muscles. See all forearm exercises or every barbell exercise.
