Dumbbell Curl to Press

Expert Advice

Perform the movement in a controlled manner, focusing on the contraction of the biceps during the curl and the shoulders during the press.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length.
Curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your torso.
Once the dumbbells are at shoulder level, rotate your wrists so your palms face forward.
Press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are fully extended.
Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder level and then to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
