Reverse grip barbell curls
This is a good exercise to strengthen the forearms as well as working the biceps in a slightly different way to regular curls. You can do the exercise with either a straight bar or an EZ bar, whichever feels most comfortable.
Stand as you would for a normal barbell curl, holding the bar down at your thighs, this is the starting position. Curl the bar up to your chest, you should feel that it is working your upper forearm muscles. You may find that for the first few weeks of doing this exercise, it is your forearms that fail before your biceps, this is not unusual, but it is good because it will strengthen and build the muscles of the upper forearms.
