Dumbbell Curl
The classic biceps builder.
What it works
Biceps
How to do it
- 1Dumbbells at your sides, palms forward.
- 2Curl one or both, elbows staying beside the ribs, and squeeze at the top before lowering to a full stretch.
- 3Let the arms straighten completely at the bottom; stopping short keeps constant tension but costs you the range that builds the muscle.
Cues that matter
- ›Elbows pinned to your sides
- ›Full squeeze at the top
- ›Slow the lower for 2-3s
