The Dumbbell Across Body Curl is a bicep exercise that involves curling the dumbbells diagonally across your body, rather than the traditional curling motion performed straight up in front of your body. This diagonal movement places additional emphasis on the biceps, particularly the outer part of the muscle, helping to develop a well-rounded and defined look in the arms.
Let's get started by grabbing both your dumbbells and have them hanging by your side with the palms facing inwards towards your body.
This is the starting position.
From here curl one of the dumbbells up and across your body, until it reaches the opposite shoulder, do this by bending at the elbow until the arm is fully flexed or as high as you can. As you do this keep your palm facing inwards throughout the full movement.
Once done, return the dumbbell back down safely to your side. Then repeat for the other arm. Once both are done you have done one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
