How to do it

1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down). Rest your forearms on your thighs, letting your wrists hang over the edge of your knees.
2. Start with your wrists in a neutral position, holding the dumbbells so that they point straight down.
3. Curl the dumbbells up by extending your wrists upwards.
4. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Avoid using momentum; focus on slow and controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
• Exhale as you curl the dumbbells up and inhale as you lower them back down.
• Maintain a firm grip on the dumbbells to prevent them from slipping.
