Standing Alternate Dumbbell Reverse Curl Instructions
- Set up for the exercise by grasping a set of dumbbells and standing straight up with the dumbbells by your side.
- Your palms should be facing down, using a reverse grip 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 muscles.
- Starting with your weakest arm (usually the left), curl the dumbbell up as far as possible.
- Squeeze the forearm at the top of the exercise, and then slowly lower the weight down without it touching your body or taking the tension off your bicep.
- Repeat for the other arm. That's one rep.
- Now repeat for the desired amount of reps to complete the set.
Exercise Tips:
- Do not rest the weights on your body or let them hang down.
- Keep your body fixed throughout the set. No swinging back as you raise the weight!
- Always start with your weakest arm - for most people that will be their left. As a general rule you should always hit your weakest side/body part first.
- Use a full range of motion and keep the rep timing slow.

How about Play One Muscle Per day Cuz I'm VEry Busy !!
For One HOur
Hi there, i was thinking of working forearms in my chest and bicep day, fistly do you think thats a good idea and what reps and sets would you recommend?
Hi Matt, I think that would be a good idea as some exercises for biceps also work out your forearms. That would be as warm up before going into working your forearms. I will recommend 12-15 reps for 3 sets.
I hope this helps.
