Bicep Curls (Dumbell)

The dumbell bicep curl is an exercise for the biceps brachi. The Biceps Brachii is attached to the forearm bone called the radius and originates at the scapula in two places. The biceps is actually 2 muscles, the long head and short head. The bicep is responsible for flexion at the elbow. Therefore all arm curl exercises strengthen the biceps. Barbell bicep curls and dumbell bicep curls are among the most common. Some other variations include; preacher curl, hammer curl, french curl and include further variation using cables, dumbells, barbells and manual resistance.

Starting position: Stand upright with your elbows to your sides and your arms extended.

Movement: Keep your elbows by your sides as you flex your biceps, bend your elbows and curl the dumbbells up towards your chest. Make sure to keep your abdominals tight and not swing your arms.
