Instructions
Preparation
- Position two dumbbells to sides, palms facing in, arms straight.
Execution
- With elbows to the sides, raise one dumbbell until forearm is vertical and the thumb faces the shoulder. Lower to original position and repeat with alternative arm.
Comments
- The biceps may be exercised alternating (as described), simultaneous, or in a simultaneous-alternating fashion. When the elbow is fully flexed, the elbow should only travel forward a few inches allowing the forearm to be no more than perpendicular to the floor to allow for a relative release of tension in the muscles between repetitions.
