Thumb Over Curl

The thumb is what gives us our best grip, placing the thumb and fingers over the top of a bar will greatly reduce the amount of weight you can hold.

make sure that the bar will not hit your feet if dropped

Best performed using a seated barbell wrist curl, with a lighter weight than normal.

Focus on keeping a tight grasp with your fingers, making sure that if you do drop the weight, they will land on a soft surface, away from your feet, or if using a barbell, the size of the end weights will prevent the bar from hitting your feet.

Make sure your hands and the bar are dry prior to commencing this exercise.
