Description

Alternating curls target the biceps and forearms. When done from a standing position, this move also engages your core. It’s one of the best moves for building a stronger, bigger biceps. The alternating of each arm helps prevent muscular imbalances. This exercise only requires the movement of the elbow joint.

How to do it

  1. 1Stand up straight, with your knees slightly bent and your arms at your sides. Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your back straight.
  2. 2Raise each dumbbell towards your shoulders using an overhand grip. The opposite arm should be resting at thigh level.
  3. 3As you lift the weight, rotate the palm your hand and squeeze the biceps. Only your forearms should move.
  4. 4Return to the starting position. Twist your palms back as you lower the dumbbell.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Use momentum to lift the dumbbells
  • Swing your elbows
