How to: Dumbbell Biceps Curl Reverse

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing down.
  2. Keep your elbows tucked into your sides and slowly curl the weights towards your shoulders.
  3. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then lower the weights back down with control.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

  • Lifting too heavy, leading to poor form.
  • Flaring elbows out, which should remain close to the torso.
  • Rushing through the repetitions.

Modifications

Tips

  • Keep your elbows close to your body.
  • Use a weight that allows you to maintain form throughout the set.
