How to do it
Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms straight and palms facing your thighs.
Keep your elbows close to your sides.
Curl one dumbbell up, turning your palm to face up as it rises.
Squeeze your biceps at the top without moving your elbow forward.
Lower the dumbbell slowly, turning your palm back in.
Repeat with the other arm and keep alternating.
Tips
- Keep your wrist straight and your shoulders still.
- Finish each rep fully before starting with the other arm.
Common mistakes
- Swinging your torso to lift the weight.
- Letting your elbow drift forward at the top.
