What it works

Biceps

How to do it

  1. 1Dumbbells at your sides, palms forward.
  2. 2Curl one or both, elbows staying beside the ribs, and squeeze at the top before lowering to a full stretch.
  3. 3Let the arms straighten completely at the bottom; stopping short keeps constant tension but costs you the range that builds the muscle.
