How to perform an underhand elbow curl?

The movement is performed by:

  • the arm muscles (biceps)

Additionally, it works:

  • the abdominal muscles, glutes, and back (stabilizes the posture)

Starting position:

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and lean your straight torso slightly forward. Hold the dumbbells with an underhand grip. Your elbows are slightly bent.

Movement: Bend your elbows, lifting the dumbbells toward your shoulders. Slowly return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep your torso slightly leaning forward. Engage your abdominal muscles. Avoid hyperextending your elbows.

You will need dumbbells for this exercise.
