Form tips

Controlled Movement

The key to this exercise is slow, controlled movement. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to swing the dumbbell up and down. Instead, use your wrist muscles to curl the dumbbell as high as you can, then slowly lower it back down.

Correct Grip

Hold the dumbbell with an overhand grip (palm facing down), and make sure your grip is firm but not overly tight. A common mistake is holding the dumbbell too loosely, which can lead to loss of control and potential injury.

Avoid Overloading

Don't use a weight that's too heavy.
