Thread: my comfy reverse wrist curl position - any probs?

When doing reverse (palm down) dumbbell wrist curls, rather than have my hand hang over the end of the bench, I turn my shoulder in so my hand hangs over the opposing side. (ie so my forearm runs parallel to the front of my body, and my right hand hangs over the left side of the bench and vice versa when I switch hands). This way seems to be a lot more comfortable than the usual way of having the forearm lie on the bench straight out in front. And I say usual because I googled like crazy and every example was like that, and not one of the way I do it. Searched the forum for wrist curl topics and only found one from '03 that wasn't relevant to this.

Anyone know if there's some reason this isn't a good idea? It sure feels like I get a nice wrist/forearm blast from it and even slightly more ROM (though the ROM could be my imagination). I use the usual hands at the end of the bench for palms up wrist curls.

Thanks, I'll try out the different angle thing and I like the idea of switching things around. After googling those two muscles - yeah, that's indeed where it feels like it's focusing. I especially feel it in the digitorum one. Skinny wrists begone!
