  2. 2. As you lift, rotate your wrists so that your palms face the floor.
  3. 3. Slowly return to the starting position.
  4. 4. When lowering the dumbbell, do not lower it completely; lower it just enough so that your biceps do not relax.

Coach's Comment

  1. It is fine to proceed with both sides at once, but if you do it one side at a time, you can feel a more concentrated contraction.
