Flex

Supinated Bicep Curls

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Stand with dumbbells at your sides, starting with a neutral grip (palms facing in).

Movement

Rotate your wrists to face your palms upward as you curl toward your shoulders. Squeeze at the top, then slowly lower while reversing the rotation.

Form Tip

The supination (rotation) of the wrist maximizes the engagement of the bicep's long head. Ensure the rotation is smooth and complete by the mid-point of the curl.

Increase Difficulty

Increase the weight or add a pause at the top contraction.

Decrease Difficulty

Use lighter weights or perform alternating arms.
