The Dumbbell Bicep Curl to Chest Press is a compound exercise that combines two movements into one, targeting both the biceps and the chest muscles. It's an effective way to work multiple muscle groups in the upper body and can be a time-efficient addition to your workout routine.
Let's get started by grabbing a dumbbell and having it hanging by your side with your palm facing inwards towards your body.
This is the starting position.
From here curl the dumbbell up, by bending at the elbow until the hand is at shoulder height. As you do this rotate your palm so it faces you.
When the hand is at shoulder height extend your arm forward until it is almost locked out, or as far as you can.
Once done, return the dumbbell back safely to the shoulder and then 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.
