Exercise Description

Standing Dumbbell Biceps Curl primarily works the biceps brachii, which is the muscle on the front of the upper arm. It also trains the brachioradialis, brachialis, and forearm flexors.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Grab a pair of dumbbells, stand up straight and tighten your core muscles. Let the dumbbells hang at arm's length, palms facing forward.
  • Step 2

    Without moving your shoulders, bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells as close to your shoulders as possible. Pause for a second and slowly let the weights return to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
