Form tips
When holding the dumbbells, your palms should be facing upwards and your grip should be firm but not overly tight. Avoid gripping the dumbbells too tightly as it can cause unnecessary strain on your wrists.
The movement should be slow and controlled, lifting the dumbbells towards your shoulders and then lowering them back down. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to lift the weights, as this can lead to improper form and potential injury.
Make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement and curl the dumbbells all the way up to your shoulders at the top. Avoid partial reps as they will not fully engage the biceps.
