Technique
- Sit on the floor holding a dumbbell in each hand, knees bent.
- Lean back slightly and lift your feet so you balance on your sit bones in a V shape.
- With arms hanging down beside the knees, curl the dumbbells to the shoulders.
- Lower slowly while holding the V position, and keep the feet off the floor through the set.
Cues
- Keep the chest lifted and the spine long.
- Brace the abs before each curl so the torso stays still.
Common mistakes
- Rounding the back and collapsing into the hips.
- Rocking the torso to help the weight up.
- Holding the breath for the whole set.
