How to do it

  1. Sit on the end of a bench with your feet wide and a dumbbell in one hand.
  2. Brace the back of your upper arm against your inner thigh and let the arm hang down.
  3. Curl the dumbbell up toward your shoulder while your upper arm stays still.
  4. Lower it slowly to a straight arm without swinging your torso to help.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
