HEy,
I've been doing these exercises for a while to try and develop my puny, girl-like forarms. I had been doing them sitting on the edge of a bench with the barbell/dumbell in my hands and my wrists/forarms braced on my knees. This was remarkable uncomfortable and more difficult to get the full range of motion.
So I was thinking about this and realized something that I later tested and found to be an improvement: use the preacher curl bench to hold the dumbells at the right angle to get the full range of motion in a way that doesn't force you to contort your whole body.
Just sit in it as you normally would but rather than working biceps, just leg your arms hang down and work your wrists - reverse or normal - and it feels just perfect.
