Exercise Description

The standing dumbbell drag curl builds bigger, stronger biceps with a unique dragging motion. It hits your biceps from a different angle than regular curls.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at your sides with palms facing back 2. Keep your elbows pinned behind your body as you curl the weights up your torso 3. Drag the dumbbells up along your body, squeezing your biceps at the top of the standing dumbbell drag curl 4. Slowly lower the weights back down, maintaining contact with your body 5. Complete your reps with the standing dumbbell drag curl, keeping constant tension on your biceps

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows behind your body throughout the entire standing dumbbell drag curl movement • Drag the weights up your torso, don't let them drift forward away from your body • Use a slow, controlled motion to maximize muscle tension during each rep • Keep your core tight and avoid swaying your body during the standing dumbbell drag curl

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbows drift forward instead of keeping them behind your body during the standing dumbbell drag curl • Using momentum or swinging the weights instead of controlled muscle movement • Going too heavy too soon with the standing dumbbell drag curl, which breaks down your form
