Instructions:

  • 1Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended, and palms facing your torso.
  • 2While holding your upper arm stationary, curl the weights while contracting your biceps as you breathe out.
  • 3Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.
  • 4Hold the contracted position for a moment as you squeeze your biceps.
  • 5Slowly begin to bring the dumbbells back to original position as your breathe in.

Tips:

  • Instead of stressing on the initial lift, focus on the squeezing at the top of the movement.
  • Make sure to keep your elbows close to your torso at all times.
  • Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the exercise to strictly isolate the biceps.
  • Avoid using your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your hands should just be holding the dumbbells.
