Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Grab two dumbbells and stand tall with feet about shoulder-width apart. Let your arms hang at your sides.

  2. 02

    Hold the dumbbells with a pronated grip (palms facing down) and keep your wrists straight.

  3. 03

    Take a deep breath, brace your core, and curl the weights up toward your shoulders by bending your elbows. Keep your upper arms pinned to your sides—don’t swing or lean back.

  4. 04

    Pause briefly at the top when your elbows are fully flexed.

  5. 05

    Lower slowly and under control back to the start until your arms are straight.

  6. 06

    Repeat for the prescribed reps.
