Overview

The Double Arm Dumbbell Curl is a strength exercise that mainly works the biceps in the upper arms. You usually perform it with a pair of dumbbells, but you can also use other resistance options such as kettlebells or resistance bands.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Grip a dumbbell in each hand and turn your palms to face forward.

  2. 2

    Lift both dumbbells together by bending your elbows. Keep your upper arms still, and maintain your palms facing forward the entire time.

  3. 3

    Keep curling until the dumbbells reach shoulder height or until you feel a strong biceps contraction.

  4. 4

    Hold the top position for one second, then lower the dumbbells slowly back to the start.

  5. 5

    Complete your chosen number of reps.
