    How to: Dumbbell Jefferson Curl

    1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in front of you.
    2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, lowering the dumbbell towards your feet.
    3. Round your back slightly as you lower the dumbbell while keeping your core engaged.
    4. 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.
