Let’s start…

Dumbbell Tip #1: Pinky Grip

Your palms face forward AND each pinky finger presses against the inside of the dumbbell — this shifts the weight and works a different plane of your bicep.

Dumbbell Tip #2: Thumb Grip

Your palms face forward AND each thumb presses against the inside of the dumbbell — your arms automatically work harder to keep your forearms rotated outward.

Dumbbell Tip #3: Slow Bicep Curl Release

Slowly un-curl (release) from the start position for the instructed rep duration.

Dumbbell Tip #4: 90-degree Static Hold

Hold your arms at 90-degrees for the instructed rep duration. Your bicep automatically flexes.

Dumbbell Tip #5: Hammer Grip

Your palms face your body. This helps tone your forearm and lower bicep.
