How to do it

Keep a slight bend in your knees and brace your core.

  1. 1

    Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with arms fully extended and palms facing each other.

  2. 2

    Curl the weights while keeping your elbows close to your torso.

  3. 3

    As you lift, rotate your wrists so that your palms face up at the top of the movement.

  4. 4

    Squeeze your biceps at the top, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Turn your wrists inwards at the top of the curl to maximize the contraction in the biceps.
