Now, while holding the upper arm stationary, curl the right weight as you rotate the palm of the right hand until it is facing forward. Continue to raise the weight until your biceps is fully contracted and the dumbbell is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
Slowly begin to lower the dumbbell back to the starting position as your breathe in.
Repeat the movement with the left hand. This completes one repetition.
Continue alternating in this manner for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Proper Form: Hold the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing towards each other) at arm's length. This is known as the hammer grip. Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times. This is your starting position. Avoid the common mistake of flaring your elbows out to the sides, which can strain your shoulders and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movement: Curl one weight to the shoulder level while keeping the other dumbbell at arm's length. Remember to keep the upper arm stationary, and move only the forearm. The common mistake here is to use the back or shoulders to lift the weight, which can lead to injury
