Curl
Schritt für Schritt
So geht’s
- Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times, then curl the weights while contracting your biceps as you breathe out. Only your forearms should move, not your upper arms.
- Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
- Slowly begin to bring the dumbbells back to the starting position as your breathe in.
- Repeat the process for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Technik-Tipps
To get the most out of the exercise, make sure to use a full range of motion. This means lowering the weight all the way down and lifting it all the way up. A common mistake is to only perform half reps, which does not fully engage the biceps.
It's crucial to avoid using your body's momentum to lift the weights. Swing or jerk can lead to injuries and also takes the focus away from the biceps. Always lift and lower the weights in a controlled manner.
Hold the barbell or dumbbell with a firm grip, but don't squeeze it too hard as it can cause unnecessary forearm fatigue. Your palms should be facing forward and slightly turned
