Dumbbell Seated Curl
Both dumbbells curled together while seated on the end of a flat bench; sitting takes the legs and the hips out of the lift.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on the end of a flat bench, feet flat, dumbbells hanging at the sides, palms forward.
Steps
- Curl both bells to the shoulders.
- Keep the elbows at your sides and the back upright.
- Lower to straight arms, the bells clear of the bench.
Common mistakes
Rocking back to swing the bells up: sit tall with lighter bells. Bells knocking the bench at the bottom: sit at its very end. Elbows traveling forward: they stay by the ribs.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
