Seated Dumbbell Biceps Curl

The seated dumbbell biceps curl increases the strength and size of the biceps and forearms. The seated position isolates the biceps by taking away assistance from other muscle groups such as the back and legs.

    Without moving your upper arms, bend your elbows and curl the dumbbells to your shoulders. Pause, then lower the weights to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Make sure to squeeze the biceps at the top of the lift.
  • Lower the weight all the way until your arms are fully extended.
  • Keep a controlled pace throughout the movement to avoid using momentum.
