Tip: Dumbbell Bicep Curl

Exercise Rating
9/10

Apr 23, 2013 2:41 AM: I think I was wrong. I have always thought that one should sway a little with the dumbbell in order to avoid back injury besides you can lift more weight if you swinging :)) The wisdom comes with the age :)

Feb 16, 2013 1:20 AM: Wow! Awesome exercise! If you love pain, then you choose it. It burns the biceps. Do 4-6 sets with increase in weights. It suits me and I hope you too.

Nov 10, 2012 10:25 PM: There's a slight difference between the Jaime and the male instructor demonstration... while Jaime keeps the palm of hand upward at the end of the movement, the male instructor turns them forward to the side of body like in the starting position. which one is correct?

Apr 29, 2012 7:05 PM: Focus on completely locking the elbows in place and avoid swaying at the top or bottom. Perform slow reps to really feel the burn. Best to do when you're not completely spent since it requires some core stability.

Dec 20, 2010 6:00 AM: Dumbell curls are one of the best bicep exercises. They should be rated higher than barbell curls and EZ-bar curls because more muscles are involved (dynamic stabilizers)than when using a solid bar.

Mar 19, 2010 8:18 PM: Agreed. The best in my opinion for exploding the biceps because it promotes good form, works the forearms aswell and most importantly works both arms identically saving time while isolating the specific muscles without having to do each arm one by one.
