Alternating Dumbbell Biceps Curl
Alternating Dumbbell Biceps is a strength-building exercise for the biceps and forearms. Performing the curls in an alternating manner ensures muscular balance on both sides of the body.
BEGINNER
Standing Alternating Dumbbell Curls
Standing Alternating Dumbbell Curls work the biceps muscles at the front of the upper arm and the lower peninsula's powers—the brachialis and brachioradialis.
Instructions
- Stand tall by placing your feet shoulder-width apart, and hold a dumbbell in each hand with a straight grip, palms facing your sides. This is your starting position.
- Raise a dumbbell to your shoulder while rotating the back of your hand. Pause by turning your palm towards your shoulder. Reverse the movement to lower the weight back to the starting position.
Tips
- Do not use momentum to lift dumbbells.
- Pull your elbows back to keep tension in your biceps.
- Focus on the full range of motion and stretch your arms at the bottom of the curve.
