Dumbbell Biceps Reverse Curl

exercise_detail.description

The Dumbbell Biceps Reverse Curl is an exercise targeting the biceps brachii with an emphasis on the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles. This variation involves a pronated grip, which shifts some focus from the biceps to the forearm muscles, providing a balanced arm workout.

exercise_detail.how_to_perform

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with a pronated grip (palms facing down).
2. Keep your elbows close to your torso and your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
3. Exhale as you curl the weights upward by bending your elbows, keeping your wrists straight.
4. Continue lifting until your forearms are vertical or slightly beyond, ensuring maximum contraction of the biceps.
5. Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
