Dumbbell Cheat Curl
Description
- Starting position is standing with feet shoulder width apart.
- Hands should take an underhand or supinated grip on the dumbbells holding them with hands shoulder width apart.
- Keeping elbows tucked into your sides throughout the entire movement, use momentum to curl the dumbbells, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
- Slowly lower to return to the starting position. Keep the core tight throughout the exercise.
Cheating through the concentric curling portion of this challenging exercise gives us a great opportunity to increase time under tension and create eccentric overload with heavier weight when we lower.
