# Dumbbell Curl
|
||||
|
||||
The free-weight biceps curl — elbows pinned to the sides, curl both
|
||||
dumbbells from a full hang to the shoulders.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Free-weight elbow flexion (dumbbells)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Biceps, forearms
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 10–12
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms forward (or
|
||||
turning as you curl), elbows lightly touching the ribs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Curl both weights up in an arc until the forearms reach the biceps.
|
||||
2. Keep the elbows fixed in place at your sides.
|
||||
3. Lower all the way to straight arms — the stretch counts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Elbows are hinges, not swings — they never travel forward or back.
|
||||
- Wrists stay neutral; no flicking at the top.
|
||||
- Stand tall; the trunk does not rock.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Swinging the hips to start the rep.
|
||||
- Half reps that skip the bottom stretch.
|
||||
- Elbows drifting forward, turning it into a front raise.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight only while the torso stays statue-still; alternate arms or
|
||||
curl seated to remove all momentum.
