How to: Dumbbell Biceps Curl Squat
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
- Perform a squat by bending your knees and lowering your body as if sitting back.
- As you rise back up from the squat, simultaneously curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders.
- Lower the weights back to the starting position while descending into the squat again.
Common Mistakes
- Bending the back instead of squatting with the legs.
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement while lifting.
- Flaring elbows out too much during the curl.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights to reduce stress on the joints.
- Perform the exercise without weights if needed.
Tips
- Engage your core to maintain balance and form.
- Control the weight throughout the movement to maximize muscle engagement.
- Keep your elbows close to your body during the curl.
