Concentration Curl

This curl is all about precision. With your paw resting against your thigh, you lift the weight slowly and deliberately, focusing on the bicep. It's a disciplined movement that builds strength and definition in the arms.

Instructions

1. Sit on a bench with your legs spread apart.
2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand, let your arm hang between your legs with your elbow resting against the inner thigh.
3. Curl the dumbbell upwards towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm stationary.
4. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
