Wrist Barbell Bench Curl

Many gym goers often find that they can't lift a weight correctly, due to poor wrist strength, however very few people actually train their wrists, which is why many a barbell has been dropped during a deadlift exercise.

This exercise can be performed either with dumbbells - barbell - EZ bar or cable / resistance band.
