This may sound dumb but...how exactly do you do a wrist curl ?

No dumb questions!

Grab a barbell with hands about 4 inches apart. Wrap thumbs around the same side of bar as other fingers. Make sure you grab bar evenly, or it will tip during the exercise. Sit toward the end of a flat bench and place wrists down just slightly off end of bench. Start by letting wrists bend down, stretching your forearms, and then slowly squeeze/curl your hands toward your forearms. Don't try to go too heavy and shoot for 12-15 reps before major burning sets in!

I actually prefer to go very wide on these, otherwise like a regular curl with a close grip it bothers my wrists.

I use a curl grip width which is around shoulder width if not perhaps a tad more, then I carefully wrest my arms on my legs.

I rest my arms on my thighs instead of the bench. Can't remember where i picked that up. But is that wrong?
