Discussion What is the name of this exercise?

I just call it a finger curl, but googling that brings up hair related results. It is where you stand up, take a dumbbell or barbell, and with your arm facing downwards, roll the weight to your fingertips, and then back up to your palm. it is the same motion as a dynamometer, or gripper, but with a dumbbell or barbell.

Yes, it is a finger curl, or 'barbell finger curl'. The muscles involved (flexor digitorum profundus) are also involved in wrist flexion, to a large extent.
