Technik-Tipps
Hold the dumbbells with a neutral grip, palms facing each other. This is the "hammer" position. Ensure your grip is firm but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary strain on your wrists.
When lifting the dumbbells, use your biceps to pull the weights up while keeping your upper arms stationary. The movement should only occur at the elbow joint. One common mistake to avoid is using your back or shoulders to lift the weight, which can lead to injury and less effective targeting of the biceps.
Lower the weights back down until your arms are fully extended.
