Bicep curls (Dumbbells)

What you should feel?? When performed correctly, you will feel a “burn” or fatigue build up in the muscles of the biceps on the front of the arm. You may also feel some fatigue in your forearm flexors. Like all exercises you shouldn’t feel discomfort in the surrounding joints or tendons. To know the difference between tendon and muscle pain, discuss with your therapist.

Instructions:

Hold your dumbbells in both hands and start to lift them in front of you
Keep your shoulders slightly retracted, with your elbows in the same position by your side throughout
Lower back down to the starting position in a controlled manner
Keep your wrists in a neutral position the whole way through
Continue the set for the agreed amount of repetitions
