About

This exercise works your biceps as you lift the weight, then targets your forearms as you lower it with your palms facing down.

How to Dumbbell Zottman Curl

Proper Form

1. Hold the dumbbells in both hands with your palms facing forward.

2. Lift the dumbbells while keeping your elbows fixed.

3. At the highest point, twist your wrists so that your palms face downward (overgrip).
