#Info – Alternating Dumbbell Curl

To maximize the benefits of the alternating dumbbell curl, maintain proper form by keeping your elbows close to your body and avoiding swinging. Engage your core to prevent using momentum. Start with lighter weights to focus on technique, gradually increasing as you gain strength. Common mistakes include using too much weight, leading to poor form, and not fully extending the arm. For beginners, seated curls can offer more control. Advanced users can add variations like tempo changes or incline curls. This exercise enhances bicep strength and symmetry, making it a great addition to upper body routines.
