How to: Dumbbell Seated Bicep Curl
- Sit on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended downwards.
- Curl the weights up towards your shoulders while contracting your biceps.
- Hold the position for a brief moment, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum by swinging the weights.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
- Allowing elbows to flare out instead of keeping them close to the body.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights for beginners or individuals with restrictions.
- Perform the curl seated on a stability ball for added balance.
Tips
- Keep your elbows tucked into your sides throughout the movement.
- Focus on a controlled motion to maximize muscle engagement.
- Ensure your back is straight and avoid leaning back while lifting.
