Description: |
- Set up for the exercise by grasping a set of dumbbells and standing straight up with the dumbbells by your side.
- Your palms should be facing up, and the dumbbells not touching your body.
- Before starting the set, take up the slack by lifting up the weight slightly so the tension is on your bicep muscles.
- Starting with your weakest arm (usually the left), curl the dumbbell up as far as possible.
- Squeeze the bicep at the top of the exercise, and then slowly lower the weight down without it touching your body or taking the tension off your bicep.
