Standing Concentration Curl
An isolation exercise focused on the biceps, targeting their peak for strength and definition.
Instructions
- Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in one hand.
- Lean forward slightly while keeping your back straight, and rest your elbow against the inside of your thigh.
- Curl the dumbbell towards your shoulder, focusing on squeezing the bicep at the top of the movement.
- Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position, fully extending the arm.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Swinging the body to lift the dumbbell instead of isolating the biceps.
- Not fully extending the arm during the eccentric phase.
- Using momentum instead of controlled motion.
