Technique
- Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing towards your body.
- Lift both dumbbells in a slow and controlled manner by squeezing your biceps and keeping your elbows tucked in by your sides.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells until your arms are almost straight and then immediately lift them again – don’t fully straighten your arms and lock them out or you will release the tension on your biceps.
