They're called towel curls and not the type using dumbbells or kettle balls you only use a towel and your own body resistance.
Sorry about the low picture quality. Basically what you do is get a towel and hold one corner with your left hand and the corner diagonally across from that one with your right. Then put your foot through the loop in the middle (either foot) stand against the wall and pull the towel up, but while you're pulling press down with your leg so your leg is resisting the force of your arms while you're pulling up.During the motion only your forearms should move, your elbows remain at your sides. Then lower your leg while your arms are offering resistance to your leg.
Done right this is extremely effective, and if you're finding it too easy you're not doing it right, because it is you creating the resistance. It may take some getting used to because you're relying on workings your own body's resistance against itself but I've been doing bicep curls chin ups and pull ups for a few years and this workout destroys my arms and forearms.
Enjoy!
