Dumbbell curls are similar to curls
done with the barbell, but with this certain exercise you are using
dumbbells. Using dumbbells gives you the option to alternate and
to rest one arm while curling with the other.
1. Place hands on the barbell with palms facing
out, keeping your hands shoulder width apart.
2. Stand with keep both feet should width apart.
3. Now start off with the bar resting on your thighs
4. Slowly raise the bar by bending your elbows toward your shoulder
area, then slowly lower the bar back to the position you started
off with.
5. Always remember to be in complete control of the downward motion,
this is the negative phase of the exercise.
6. Also remember to always keep your knees slightly bent and your
elbows tucked close to your body, as well as keeping your stomach
as tight as you can, this will help you avoid a back injury.
