How to perform Dumbbell Concentration Curl with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Seating: Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
  2. Dumbbell Grip: Hold a dumbbell in one hand.
  3. Arm Position: Rest the elbow of the working arm on the inside of your thigh for stability.

Execution

  1. Start Curl: With a controlled motion, curl the dumbbell upwards. Focus on contracting your bicep.
  2. Elbow Alignment: Keep your elbow close to your body and stationary; only the forearm should move.
  3. Peak Contraction: At the top of the curl, squeeze your bicep briefly.
  4. Lowering Phase: Lower the dumbbell back down slowly to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.

Breathing

  • Inhale while lowering the dumbbell.
  • Exhale during the upward curl.

Tips

  • Maintain a neutral wrist throughout the movement.
  • Avoid swinging or using momentum; focus on isolating the bicep.
  • Remember to switch arms after completing your repetitions.
