How to: Cheat Curl
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging down at your sides.
- While keeping your elbows close to your torso, curl the weights up towards your shoulders using your biceps.
- Squeeze at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Swinging the body during the lift.
- Lifting weights that are too heavy and straining the back.
- Neglecting to fully extend the arms in each repetition.
Modifications
- Perform with lighter weights or no weights at all.
- Use a resistance band instead for added support.
Tips
- Use a controlled motion to lift the weight to avoid strain.
- Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the exercise.
- Focus on engaging your biceps rather than using momentum.
