Dumbbell curls
The original dumbbell curl is a very simple exercise to perform. Simply stand with a dumbbell in each hand, with your arms straight, hanging down by your sides. Curl the dumbbell up to your chest, alternating each arm, squeezing at the, so that the bicep is fully contracted for a full second.
Each rep should take about 4-5 seconds, ensuring that you don’t use momentum to swing the weight up, and emphasize the static and negative as well as the positive. Remember to count only one arm at a time so that you don’t end up doing half the number of reps per set that you wanted to.
