How to perform

With light dumbbells and palms facing you, perform a bicep curl, keeping your elbows stable. As you lift, rotate your wrists to face downward, and reverse this motion as you lower the weights back to the starting position. This exercise targets the biceps while also engaging the forearms.

Tips

Start with a manageable weight to prioritize proper form. Control the movement throughout the entire range of motion. Maintain a stable elbow position close to your body. Activate your core muscles for added stability. Rotate your wrists fully at the top and bottom of each repetition.
