Instructions

1. Sit on the edge of a bench with your feet planted firmly on the floor about shoulder-width apart
2. Hold a dumbbell in your working hand with an underhand grip and let your arm hang straight down
3. Place the back of your upper arm against the inside of your thigh on the same side, just above the knee

5. Lower the dumbbell back down in a controlled manner until your arm is nearly straight
6. Complete all repetitions on one arm before switching to the other side

Important points

• Keep your upper arm pressed firmly against your thigh throughout the entire movement to isolate the bicep
• Focus on slow, controlled movements rather than using momentum to lift the weight
• Avoid fully locking out your elbow at the bottom to maintain constant tension on the muscle
• Breathe out during the lifting phase and breathe in during the lowering phase
• Choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form for all repetitions

Instructions
