How to perform Dumbbell Bicep Curl with proper form
Starting Position:
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with arms fully extended and palms facing forward.
Execution:
- Keep your elbows close to your torso.
- Curl the dumbbells upward by bending your elbows while contracting your biceps.
- Raise the dumbbells until they are at shoulder level, ensuring that your upper arms remain stationary.
- Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement.
Return:
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position while controlling the motion.
- Ensure the elbows stay in place as you lower the weights.
Tips for Proper Form:
- Avoid swinging or using momentum; focus on controlled movement.
- Keep your wrists neutral; don’t allow them to bend.
- Maintain a straight back; avoid leaning or arching.
This exercise targets the biceps effectively when done with proper form.
