I am Kirt Watt on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to be doing the
dumbbell triceps curl. Probably one of the most famous exercises for guys, but it is
good all around, but there is a big problem with it, most people do not truly know how
to do it and do it right, so hopefully I am going to show you the right way today. Again,
always pick a moderate weight. You do not need to have a ton of weight to do this exercise.
Standing dumbbell biceps curl, stand with your feet slightly apart, do not lock your
knees, keep it bend, so you're nice and flexed, pull your shoulders back just a little and
stand up nice and tall. Good posture always, good posture always. Keep your elbows slightly
against your sides, elevate the dumbbell, contract the biceps as much as you can, exhale
as you bring it up and inhale as you bring it down, notice how my upper arm is not swinging.
It is not doing this stuff. You see a lot of people in the gym doing all this nonsense,
okay. No benefit in that, other than to hurt your shoulders. Take your time, bring it down
nice and smooth, keep the arm with the side, do not rotate the shoulder at all, get a nice
good pump in the biceps, squeezing the biceps as you bring it up, just like that. Now you
are going to have a little bit of upper body rock, not a lot as long as you stay stable.
Keep your heels on the ground, you always stay real firm in the ground just like this.
About 15 reps and that you do with. This is the dumbbell biceps curl.
