Execution
-
1

-
2
Inhale and keep your elbows close to your body. This is your starting position.

3
As you exhale, rotate your wrists so that your palms face upward at the end of the movement, and curl the weights toward your shoulders. Focus on using the strength of your biceps.
-

Benefits
- Strengthens and shapes the biceps.

Common Mistakes
- ! Using too much weight, causing you to swing. Focus on a weight that allows you to maintain control over the movement.
- ! Allowing the elbows to move during the exercise. Keep them close to your body for maximum effectiveness.
- ! Not fully extending at the bottom or not fully squeezing the biceps at the top of the movement.
Key Muscles
The primary focus is on the biceps brachii, with secondary involvement of the brachialis and brachioradialis in the forearms.
Possible Alternatives
- Hammer Curls: Hold the dumbbells as if you were holding a hammer for variation in muscle activation.
- Concentration Curls: Sit on a bench with your elbow against your inner thigh for greater isolation of the biceps.
- Barbell Curls: Use a barbell for a more stable movement and to train both arms simultaneously.
