How to Do Dumbbell Concentration Curl

Form Cues

1. 1

   Plant your elbow firmly on your inner thigh

2. 2

   Curl slowly and squeeze hard at the top

3. 3

   Sit with legs spread wide enough that the working arm can hang fully vertical at the bottom

4. 4

   Keep your torso still — this is a strict, seated isolation movement, not a swinging one

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Letting the elbow lift off the thigh — allows swinging and removes the isolation benefit

• ●

  Using too much weight to complete strict reps — this movement rewards control over load

• ●

  Twisting the torso to help the weight up — the only thing that should move is your forearm
