The Dumbbell Reverse Grip Curl is a variation of the traditional bicep curl that targets the biceps brachii muscles from a different angle. By using a reverse grip (also known as a supinated grip) with the palms facing downward, this exercise places more emphasis on the brachialis muscle, located underneath the biceps. It's an effective way to add variety to your bicep workout and develop well-rounded arm strength.
Let's get started by grabbing a dumbbell and have it hanging by your side with your palm facing down.
This is the starting position.
From here curl the dumbbell up, by bending at the elbow until the arm is fully flexed or as high as you can. As you do this keep your palms facing down the whole time.
Once done, return the dumbbell back down safely to your side. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetition with the other arm.
If you find yourself falling sideways it may be better to hold a dumbbell in each hand to counteract the weight.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
