How to perform?
A variation of the Dumbbell Curls, the Seated Alternating Dumbbell Curls is performed while seated. Although very similar to its standing counterpart, by sitting down you can focus more on squeezing the biceps and not worry about swaying your body back and forth, therefore 'cheating' using momentum.
Steps to perform:
- Sit on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward.
- Keep your back straight, shoulders back, and feet flat on the floor.
- Exhale as you curl one dumbbell towards your shoulder, rotating your palm.
- Keep the opposite arm fully extended, emphasizing bicep contraction.
- Inhale as you lower the curled dumbbell back down in a controlled manner.
- Repeat the movement on the opposite arm, alternating between sides.
