How to do concentration curl

Coach's Tips

This exercise is named for its focus on lifting the arm and specifically targets the inner and upper biceps. It minimizes arm swinging and shoulder joint movement!

Start Position

1. Avoid swinging your arms and using momentum to lift the dumbbells.

2. Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.

3. Ensure your back remains straight and your core is engaged.

Proper Form

1. Keep your upper arms steady as you curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders.

2. Squeeze your biceps at the top, then slowly lower the weights to the start position.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you lift the dumbbells and exhale as you lower them back down.

Precautions

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

2. Rest the weights against your thighs.
