Welcome to the full guide on how to perform Concentration Curls from Built Fit. Below you will learn how to perfect your form and technique for this exercise. Be sure to read the information on how to start and perform the exercise and then view the images and video to see it in action. Built Fit stresses the importance on perfecting the form of Concentration Curls before you begin adding additional weight.
Starting Position: Sit in a chair or on the edge of a bench. Grasp a dumbbell in one hand and, leaning forward, place the elbow of that arm against the inside of the thigh on that same side.
Performing The Exercise: Let the arm hang down straight, then slowly curl the weight up to a full contraction at the top. Slowly return the arm to a straight position and repeat the movement.
Tips: It is important to return the weight to a full stretch position (arm straight) on each repetition to work the entire bicep muscle. Squeeze each contraction at the top for an additional pump.
