Last reviewed: 23.04.2024
You will need:
A pair of dumbbells and a training bench.
Strengthens:
Biceps, forearm
- Initial position
Sit on the edge of the bench, pick up dumbbells. Hands should be straight and free to hang, palms facing each other.
PAY ATTENTION: Concentrate on your movements. Before the beginning of the exercise, it is useful to do it in the mind.
- Basic movement
Bend your arms in the elbows and slowly bring dumbbells to your shoulders.
PLEASE NOTE: Your palms should always look at each other. Do not cheat.
- Final position
Bring dumbbells to your shoulders and strain your biceps. Slowly lower the dumbbells until your hands are straight.
PLEASE NOTE: Use controlled movements, or you will just beat yourself on the shoulders. Do one approach, then immediately without a break, go to the next exercise (reverse wrist flexions).
