Dumbbell extension can help strengthen forearms. However, this exercise works better when combined with a wrist extension with a dumbbell. Step 1 – Grab a dumbbell (not too heavy) and place the underside of your forearm flat on a weight bench. Step 2 – Let your hand hang off the edge. Step 3 – Turn your wrist upwards to stretch the top of your forearm. Step 4 – When you feel a nice stretch, bring the weight back up by extending your wrist. Step 5 – Be sure to squeeze your forearm extensors, and don’t be afraid to bring the dumbbell higher than the starting position to get a good contraction. Repeat 8-12 times 2-4 sets in a row Once-daily 5 days a week
