3. Do not lock your elbows at the top of the movement.

Proper Form

2. Squeeze your biceps at the peak of the movement, then gradually lower the dumbbells to the starting point.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you lift the weights, and breathe in as you lower them back to the starting position.

Precautions
