How To Perform the Dumbbell Reverse Curl

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand using an overhand grip (palms facing down).
  2. Keep your elbows close to your torso and your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
  3. Exhale as you curl the dumbbells upward by bending your elbows, lifting the weights towards your shoulders.
  4. Focus on using your brachialis and forearm muscles to perform the lift, avoiding any swinging motions.
  5. Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled and steady movements.
