Dumbbell curls with the biceps isolator

Start by standing upright, hanging the isolator around your neck, adjusting it correctly. Your upper arms rest on the isolator, your legs are hip-width apart, and your gaze is forward with a straight back. The dumbbells are in both hands and can be held in either the underhand or hammer grip.

Movement execution

To initiate the exercise, simultaneously bend both forearms upward and exhale. Stop when the dumbbells are just above the chest, without touching the body. Inhale as you return to the starting position, ensuring that the arms are not fully extended.

In this particular variation of the exercise, you alternate bending your arms. Start by bending and lifting one forearm at a time. The entire movement is exclusively from the forearm. Exhale as you lift, and inhale as you return to the starting position. Once one arm with the dumbbell is down, continue with the other side.

During the Bicep Curls with dumbbells and the Arm Blaster in the hammer grip, lift both forearms simultaneously. During this, only the forearms move to isolate and strengthen the biceps. Exhale as you lift and return while inhaling. Your arms are never fully extended at any time.
