Execution of wrist curls

Personaly I never bother.
You'll find its only body builders that do wrist isolation work. If you really feel the need then just add them to your bent over rows, shrugs etc...
 
ok, i'm still having problems doing them the correct way, what should i be feeling in my forearms if i'm doing them correctly?
 
How long have you been training?

Unless your a serious bodybuilder training more than a few years I wouldnt even bother with wrist exercises.

Write up your workout and I'll show you where to add them if you really feel you must do them.

They will feel the same as anyother muscle when worked.
 
right now i'm working biceps with dumbbell curls, triceps and pecs with bench press, my back with lie-down rows, and i'm looking for some good forearm exercises
 
I'm not going to keep saying it so this will be my last post to this thread unless you have a serious question about my replys.

Dont bother with wrist curls, they are purely for bodybuilders who feel they need bigger forearms.
You should be working all the major muscle groups. Read the weight training 101.
 
Yeah, he's right. Gripping the bar with a lot of weight takes care of most people's forearms. I notice you don't work your legs, which is a mistake. Many of the more effective leg exercises require you to do this.
 
Are they really a body building exercise? Wrist/forearm Curls should be light weight just like rotator cuff exercises. forearm/wrist/rotator cuff is all used for softball, baseball and any other sport that requires wrist/forearm movement. I think it is important to include wrist/forearm curls in the routine unless there is an exercise that the forearm/wrists use with multiple muscles?

Yes its important to strech them but a deadlift, clean and press is plenty of wrist work.
For a serious weight trainer every second you spend on pointless exercises is a seconds you could have been getting your post workout shake down your neck.
