Right Way of Doing Bicep Curls

Today I would like to focus on how to do the Bicep Curl properly. I sometimes see guys in the gym doing it wrongly, and me too, I’m guilty of not exercising in proper form sometimes.
It is always helpful to see someone doing it properly, rather than reading it from a procedure.
So I put in here a workout video of Frank Sepe, demonstrating the bicep curls.
Proper Execution:
1. Hold a pair of dumbbells at arms’ length by your sides, thumbs pointing forward.
2. One arm at a time, curl the dumbbell up toward your shoulder, rotating your hand so palm faces upward.
3. Lower the dumbbell back down, and repeat the opposite arm.
Tips on doing Bicep Curls:
- Keep your elbows close to your body, use your biceps to curl the dumbbell slowly up to your chin
- Don’t sway back your back or rock your body for momentum, this will not train your bicep properly, but your back is also giving it some help.
- Hold for a second at the end of the lift, then lower the dumbbell slowly with a controlled motion to starting position. Do not swing the weight.

Keep on exercising, enjoy!
