The Dumbbell Biceps Curl (With Arm Blaster) is an isolation exercise targeted towards the biceps muscles. Using an arm blaster can help stabilize the upper arms and prevent cheating during the movement, allowing for better muscle engagement and growth.
How to perform
Here are the step by step instructions for performing the Dumbbell Biceps Curl (With Arm Blaster):1. Begin by securing the arm blaster around your upper arms, positioning it so that it rests comfortably against your chest and keeps your elbows in place.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an underhand grip (palms facing up).
3. Keep your back straight, chest up, and shoulders back throughout the movement.
4. Slowly curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows stationary. Contract your biceps at the top of the movement.
5. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, fully extending your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift the dumbbells and inhaling as you lower them.
8. Focus on maintaining proper form and avoiding swinging or using momentum to lift the weights.
9. Adjust the weight of the dumbbells as needed to challenge yourself while still being able to complete the desired number of reps with proper form.
10. As you progress, you can increase the weight or the number of sets and reps to continue challenging your biceps muscles.
