Dumbbell Bicep curl – Single Arm

Overview

The dumbbell bicep curl is a classic and effective strength-training exercise that targets the biceps brachii, the muscles on the front of your upper arms. It is a popular choice for building arm strength and size, and it can be easily performed using dumbbells, making it accessible for people of various fitness levels.

Description

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 the dumbbells up, by bending at the elbow until the arms are fully flexed or as high as you can. As you do this rotate your palms so they face you.

Once done, return the dumbbells back down safely to your side. This is 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.
