Exercise Description

Standing Zottman Biceps Curl builds stronger biceps and grip muscles to aid grip performance and injury prevention. This exercise also increases the mobility of the wrist.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Grab a pair of dumbbells and stand, tensing your torso. 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. Your palms will be facing your body at the top of the curve.
  • Step 3

    At the top of the movement, rotate your wrists so that your palms are facing the opposite side of your body. Lower the dumbbells back to the sides.
