How to Dumbbell Bicep Curls

Dumbbell Bicep Curls are a foundational exercise for building the biceps. The use of dumbbells allows for a full range of motion and the ability to work each arm independently, reducing the risk of muscle imbalances.

Muscles Worked

• Biceps Brachii (front of the arms)
• Brachialis (underneath the biceps)
• Forearms (secondary involvement)
