The Dumbbell Bicep Curl to Overhead Press is a compound exercise that combines two movements into one, targeting both the biceps and the shoulder muscles. It is 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 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, 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 overhead until it is almost locked out, or as high as you can. Rotate your palm so it is facing forward at the top of the movement.
Once done, return the dumbbell back down safely to shoulder height and then return the dumbbell back down safely to your side. Then repeat on the other arm. Once both are done you have done one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
