Now, while holding your upper arm stationary, exhale and curl the weight while contracting your biceps, continue to raise the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbell is at shoulder level, make sure your palms are facing up.
Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps, then inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
As you lower the right dumbbell, curl the left one and repeat the movement, alternating the arms.
Continue alternating in this manner for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Momentum**: A common mistake is to use momentum to lift the weights, which can lead to back strain and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise on your biceps. Instead, make sure to lift and lower the weights using only your biceps, keeping the rest of your body still. **Controlled Movements**: Perform the exercise with slow, controlled movements. Avoid the temptation to speed up, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. **Full Range of Motion**: Make sure to fully extend your arm at the bottom of the movement and fully curl the dumbbell up to your shoulder at the top of the movement. This ensures
