How to perform Dumbbell Bicep Curl
- Stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand and your arms beside your torso.
- Turn your palms forward and keep them facing upward as you curl, with your wrists aligned with your forearms.
- Bend both elbows to raise the dumbbells while keeping your upper arms beside your body.
- Stop before you need to swing your torso or lift your elbows forward to continue the curl.
- Lower the weights under control until your elbows return to the starting position, maintaining the same palms-forward grip.
