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 elbows until the hands are at shoulder height. As you do this rotate your palms so they face you.

When they are at shoulder height extend your arms overhead until they are almost locked out, or as high as you can. Rotate your palms so they are facing forward at the top of the movement.

Once done, return the dumbbells back down safely to shoulder height and then 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.
