Standing Dumbbell Reverse Curl

This one is a grizzly-approved arm builder. Stand tall, hold the dumbbells with palms down, and curl with control like a bear carefully lifting honey jars. It lights up the upper arms and asks your grip to do honest work too.

Instructions

1. Stand tall holding dumbbells at your sides, palms facing back.
2. Set your elbows close to your ribs.
3. Curl the dumbbells up until your forearms are nearly vertical.
4. Pause briefly at the top without swinging.
5. Lower the dumbbells slowly to the start position.
6. Repeat for your chosen number of reps.
