    How to: Barbell Behind Back Finger Curl

    1. Stand with your back facing a barbell placed on the floor.
    2. Bend down and grasp the barbell with both hands, palms facing you, and hands shoulder-width apart.
    3. Ensure the barbell is behind your back.
    4. Slowly curl the barbell upward by flexing at the wrist, keeping your forearms stationary.
    5. Lower the barbell back down under control to the starting position.
    6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not fully extending elbows during the movement.
    • Allowing elbows to flare out.

    Modifications
