Instructions

  1. 1.Stand up straight, holding a dumbbbell in each arm with an underhand grip and your palms facing forward. This is your starting position.
  2. 2.Pull the dumbbells up in line with your body while getting your elbows behind our body.
  3. 3.Squeeze your biceps at the top before slowly returning to the starting position.
  4. 4.Repeat for as many repetitions as required.

Tips

  • Do not lift your shoulders as you lift the bar.
  • Slightly bend your arms at the bottom of the movement to keep tension in your biceps throughout. Prevent your arms from losing tension when you return to the starting position. You shouldn't let your arms 'hang' at the bottom.
  • Perform the reps slowly and in a controlled manner.

Breathing Instructions

Breathe in during the eccentric (lowering) portion of the exercise and breathe out during the cocentric (elevation) portion.
