Exercise Instructions:

The one arm standing dumbbell curl is a good way to correct any strength and size imbalances in the biceps as it works each muscle individually. Setup for the exercise by grasping a set of dumbbells and standing straight up with the dumbbells by your side. Your palms should be facing up, and the dumbbells not touching your body. Before starting the set, take up the slack by lifting up the weight slightly so the tension is on your bicep muscle. Starting with your weakest arm (usually the left), curl the dumbbell up as far as possible. Squeeze the bicep at the top of the exercise, then slowly lower the weight down without it touching your body or taking the tension off your bicep. Repeat for desired reps, then repeat on your other arm.

Tips:

Keep your body fixed throughout the set. Don't let the dumbbell touch your body. Keep the tension on the bicep at all times, don't let the weight "hang" at the bottom of the exercise or "rest" at the top of the movement. Always work your weakest side first, for most people this is the right side.
