The Dumbbell Seated Curl is a bicep exercise that targets the muscles in the front of your arms. By performing this exercise while seated, you are isolating the biceps and removing the temptation to swing the weights using momentum.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Seated Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on a bench with your back straight and your feet flat on the ground. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing forward and your arms fully extended down at your sides.
2. Keep your elbows close to your body and curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, keeping your wrists straight.
3. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
4. Make sure to control the movement throughout and avoid swinging the weights. Focus on using your biceps to lift the dumbbells.
5. Perform the desired number of repetitions, usually around 8-12, depending on your fitness goals and the weight you are using.
6. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift the weights and inhaling as you lower them back down.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can perform the Dumbbell Seated Curl with a higher weight, or increase the number of repetitions or sets. Make sure to choose a weight that challenges you while still allowing you to maintain proper form.
