How to: Dumbbell Jefferson Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in front of you.
- Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, lowering the dumbbell towards your feet.
- Round your back slightly as you lower the dumbbell while keeping your core engaged.
- Return to the starting position by standing upright and squeezing your glutes.
Common Mistakes
- Not keeping the back straight, leading to possible injury.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
- Overextending during the curl, which can strain the lower back.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to start and increase as you gain strength.
- Perform the movement with a reduced range of motion to avoid discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement to avoid injury.
- Engage your core to maintain stability.
- Use a manageable weight to focus on form rather than lifting heavy.
