Concentration Curls
Concentration Curls are a bodybuilder favorite. This is probably one of the most frequently performed exercises in most gyms in the US.
To perform the Concentration Curl, simply hold a dumbbell in one hand, sit down on the edge of a bench, let your arm that's holding the dumbbell hang down between your legs and press its elbow elbow against your inner thigh of that leg (if your curling with the right arm, then lean the back of your right arm against the inside of your right leg), and curl the dumbbell up with your bicep. Do not bend your wrist while curling. Keep it stiff throughout the exercise. Also, do not allow your upper body to move or your upper arm to move. Keep the upper arm in the vertical position throughout the exercise with your elbow pressed firmly against your inner thigh.
Once you reach the top of the curl, lower the weight back down again to the starting position under control and repeat for the planned number of reps.
