Step by step
- Set a bench to about a 60 degree incline and sit back with a dumbbell hanging from each hand.
- Let the arms fully extend straight down, palms facing each other, with the shoulder blades pinned to the bench.
- Keep the elbows pinned at your sides and resist any urge to swing them forward as you curl.
- Curl both dumbbells up by bending only at the elbow, palms staying in the neutral hammer position.
- Stop the curl just before the elbows travel forward, squeezing hard for a brief pause at the top.
- Lower the dumbbells under control over 2 to 3 seconds back to the fully stretched start position.
