Exercise Description

The concentration curl builds bigger biceps by isolating the muscle completely. It removes momentum and forces your biceps to do all the work for maximum growth.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with feet wide apart, hold a dumbbell in one hand 2. Rest your upper arm against your inner thigh, letting the weight hang down for the concentration curl starting position 3. Curl the dumbbell up by squeezing your biceps, keeping your upper arm pressed against your leg 4. Hold the top position for one second, feeling the peak contraction in your biceps 5. Lower the concentration curl slowly back to the starting position and repeat

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arm glued to your inner thigh throughout the entire concentration curl movement • Move slowly and controlled - this exercise is about quality, not speed • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top and feel the muscle working • Don't swing or use momentum during the concentration curl

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbell up instead of curling with control • Moving your upper arm away from your leg, which reduces the concentration curl's effectiveness • Rushing through reps instead of focusing on the muscle-mind connection
