Are Reverse Curls Good For Toning?

It’s important to avoid ineffective exercises when trying to lose arm flab. Unfortunately, all the experts have different opinions on this one.

So what can you do in light of this? Well, without a reliable source of information that is based on fact and not opinion, you are pretty much stuck.

Well, it can be virtually impossible unless you have a higher education in the field. Thus, I have decided to get you the facts, the objective facts. I will be reviewing many exercises that the general public uses to get rid of arm flab.

So without further delay, here is today’s review of barbell reverse wrist curls:

1. Summary: Lots and lots of people do this exercise, especially men. I personally think it’s a waste of time. For upper arm toning it’s very ineffective for one simple reason: it targets the forearms.

2. Technique jump-start: Sit down on a support structure, grasp a barbell with an overhand grip and place your forearms on your upper thighs. Raise the barbell slowly, then slowly lower it for the best results.

3. Most common mistakes: Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. Gripping the barbell too hard. And not using a full range of motion.

4. Bottom line: Unless you need to strengthen your forearms for some particular reason, you should not be doing this exercise. It does not target the jiggly upper arm area. You are much better served doing other exercises.

Hopefully you are feeling a little more confident about figuring out this whole arm flab thing. Don’t miss any of my exercise reviews so that you feel even more confident! It’s time for you to get the facts, and not the opinions.

One more thing: act now, not later, because later usually never comes.
