Finger curls help turn soft paws into powerful grips. By letting the weight roll to your fingertips and curling it back, you train the small muscles that matter when it's time to hold on tight - whether it's a barbell or a tree branch. A great move for bears who never want to drop their gear... or their snacks.

Instructions

  1. Hold a barbell or dumbbells with an underhand grip.
  2. Extend your arms down in front of you.
  3. Allow the weight to roll down to your fingertips.
  4. Slowly curl the weight back up using your fingers and contracting your forearms.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
