Ensure your elbows are close to your torso and your palms facing each other, this is your starting position.
Now, while keeping your upper arms stationary, curl the weights while contracting your biceps as you breathe out. The palms of your hands should go towards your shoulders.
Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
Finally, slowly begin to bring the dumbbells back to the starting position as your breathe in, ensuring you maintain full control of the weights. Repeat the exercise for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movements: Avoid the temptation to use momentum or swing the weights. The key to this exercise is slow, controlled movements. Lift the weights in a controlled manner, squeeze at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower the weights back down. This will ensure that your biceps are doing the work and not your shoulders or back. Right Weight: Using weights that are too heavy is a common mistake. This can lead to poor form and potential injury. Choose a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of reps while maintaining good form. If you can't do this, the weight is likely too heavy. Full
