Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Biceps Curl Reverse
- While keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps. Continue to raise the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
- Inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Make sure to keep your elbows close to your torso at all times and do not use your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your forearms should do all the work.
- Repeat the process for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Tips for Performing Biceps Curl Reverse
- Maintain Good Posture: Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Avoid slouching or arching your back. Your elbows should be close to your torso at all times. This helps to isolate the biceps and reduce the risk of back injury.

- Full Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement and fully contract your biceps at the top. Avoid the mistake of partial reps which can limit the effectiveness
