How to do it

  1. Stand tall and hold the dumbbells in a neutral grip, palms facing your thighs.
  2. Without turning your wrists, curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders.
  3. Lower them slowly until your arms are straight, without letting them swing.
  4. Keep your elbows at your sides and your wrists straight throughout.

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