Form tips
A common mistake is to rush the movement. Instead, focus on a slow and controlled motion. As you curl the dumbbell, make sure to keep your upper arm stationary. The only part of your body that should be moving is your forearm.
Make sure to fully extend your arm at the bottom of the movement and fully contract your bicep at the top. Avoid the mistake of partial reps, which will not fully engage your muscles.
