The Dumbbell Concentration Curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps. It is performed using a dumbbell while sitting on a bench or chair, allowing for better focus on the bicep muscle.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Concentration Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on a bench or chair and hold a dumbbell in one hand, palm facing up.
2. Position your elbow against your inner thigh, just above the knee.
3. Slowly lift the dumbbell towards your shoulder, keeping your elbow stationary.
4. Contract your bicep at the top of the movement and hold for a second.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position, keeping control of the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. Remember to control the weight and focus on using your bicep to lift the dumbbell rather than swinging or using momentum.
