Technique
- Sit on the end of a bench, feet flat, a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing forward.
- Curl one dumbbell to the shoulder while the other arm hangs straight.
- Lower it slowly and curl the other arm.
- Alternate until both sides finish the set.
Cues
- Sit tall; sitting removes leg drive, so keep the rep strict.
- Keep the elbows by your sides.
Common mistakes
- Leaning back to lift the weight.
- Cutting the range short at the bottom.
