How to: Dumbbell Standing Reverse Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- With your palms facing down, curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your torso.
- Squeeze at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum to lift the weights rather than relying on muscle strength.
- Letting elbows drift away from the body during the curl.
- Not fully extending arms during the lowering phase.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights if you are experiencing any discomfort.
- Perform the exercise seated to reduce the strain on the lower back.
Tips
- Use a weight that allows for full range of motion without swinging.
- Keep your elbows close to your body during the curl.
- Focus on controlling the weight during both the lifting and lowering phases.
