Instructions:

  • 1Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended and palms facing your torso.
  • 2Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times.
  • 3Curl the weights while keeping your palms facing each other until they are at shoulder height.
  • 4Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
  • 5Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the initial position.

Tips:

  • Do not use your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your forearms should do all the work.
  • Your upper arms should remain stationary throughout the exercise.
  • Exhale as you curl the dumbbells and inhale as you lower them.
  • Avoid a fast tempo. It's not about the speed, but the technique.
