Straddle a flat bench, facing along the bench. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand behind your back, with hands about shoulder-width apart, underhand grip. Let the dumbbells hang off the end of the bench. This is your starting position. Grip the dumbbells tightly and curl the dumbbells as high as you can. Let your elbows lift slightly from the bench at the end of the movement. Exhale during this movement. Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position. Inhale during this movement. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.

A complete forearm program must achieve balanced development for all major forearm muscles. The forearm is involved in six different forearm movements. They include wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist abduction, wrist adduction, forearm pronation, and forearm supination. There are additional muscles found in the forearm that are involved in movements like elbow flexion (brachioradialis), finger flexion, and finger extension.
