The biceps curl is an isolation exercise targeting the biceps brachii. Stand tall with a dumbbell or barbell in hand, palms facing forward, and elbows tucked close to your sides. Curl the weight upwards towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms.
Skip or adapt this movement if any of these apply — and check with a professional when in doubt.
