Bicep Exercises

Alternate Bicep Curl 

This Single Arm Version of the Bicep Curl is a classic. It uses dumbbells to isolate your biceps.

To Perform This Exercise:

1. Stand with our feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent and your abs drawn in.
2. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand so your palms are facing up and extend your arms so they are at the sides of your body.
3. While keeping your elbows locked, lift your left arm to your chest so that your forearm touches your bicep.
4. Lower your arm and repeat with your right arm.

Tips:
Keep your elbows in the same position throughout the exercise. They should be drawn in to your torso, shoulder width apart.
Keep your knees slightly bent to help prevent swinging your torso and "cheating."
