The Dumbbell Standing Reverse Curl is an exercise that targets the muscles in the forearms, specifically the brachioradialis. This exercise is great for increasing grip strength and overall arm development.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Standing Reverse Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
2. Keep your arms fully extended at your sides with a slight bend in your elbows.
3. Engage your core and maintain good posture throughout the exercise by keeping your chest up and shoulders back.
4. Slowly curl the dumbbells upwards towards your shoulders, making sure to keep your elbows close to your body.
5. Squeeze your forearms at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, typically 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.
Remember to use a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. It's important to control the movement and avoid swinging the weights to ensure you are effectively targeting the intended muscles.
