How to do dumbbell alongside curl

Coach's Tips

Lift the dumbbells to perform an alongside curl.

Start Position

1. Ensure your elbows remain close to your body throughout the exercise.

2. Lift the weights using your biceps without swinging the dumbbells upward.

3. Engage your core and maintain a straight back to avoid arching.

Proper Form

1. With elbows close to your sides, lift both dumbbells simultaneously.

2. Pause briefly when your forearms are parallel to the ground, then lower the weights back to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you lift the weights.

2. Breathe in as you lower them back down.

Precautions

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, a dumbbell in each hand.

2. Slightly bend your knees and lean forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged.

3. Extend your arms and let the dumbbells hang in front of your legs.
