Dumbbell Curl to Press
Equipment
Curl the weights while keeping your palms face forward and continue to lift the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.
Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
Then, push the dumbbells up over your head until your arms are fully extended, performing a shoulder press.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position at your sides, completing one repetition of the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: When performing the curl, be sure to lift the weights in a controlled manner. Avoid rushing the movement as this can lead to injury and minimizes the effectiveness of the exercise. Slowly curl the weights while keeping your upper arms stationary, continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. **Pressing the Weight**: After the curl, rotate your wrists so that your palms are facing forward. Press the weights up over your head until your arms are fully extended. Avoid locking your elbows at
