How to do Dumbbell Bicep Curl
Back to ExercisesInstructions
Stand with your feet at hip width and core engaged to support you throughout the movement. Start with a dumbbell in each hand, at your sides, like you would hold suitcases. Bend your right arm at the elbow and raise the right dumbbell up towards your shoulder, rotating it as you do so that your palm faces in towards your right shoulder. Then lower it with control, rotating it back to the start position. Repeat this movement with the left arm and then keep alternating left and right for the duration of the exercise.
