Coaching cues
Form tips
Hold the dumbbell with an overhand grip (your knuckles facing up). The grip should be firm but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary tension in the wrist and forearm.
When you curl the dumbbell, do so in a controlled manner. Avoid jerky or rapid movements that can lead to injury. Slowly lower the dumbbell back down after the curl, resisting the weight as you do so. This controlled movement will engage and strengthen your forearm muscles more effectively.
One common mistake is using a weight that is too heavy.
