Technique
Setup
Stand with dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing forward. Maintain a slight bend in the knees.
Movement
'Drag' the weights up along the front of your torso by driving your elbows backward. The weights should stay in contact with your body.
Form Tip
By keeping the elbows behind the body, you minimize shoulder involvement and maximize tension on the biceps, particularly the long head.
Increase Difficulty
Slow the lowering phase to 3-4 seconds to increase time under tension.
Decrease Difficulty
Use lighter weights to ensure the elbows stay back throughout the entire movement.
