Use a weight that allows you to control
the exercise with strict form suited to your training goals. Adjust the bench so
it is upright but leaning back slightly, sit facing the mirror. Keep your lower
back against the bench
Take the Dumbells and let your arms
hang by your sides
Use the drag and lock technique with
your arms
Inhale, then exhale as you bring the
dumbells up to a 45 degree angle and the forearms point up. The only part of
your arm that should move is your elbows
Lower the dumbells down and stop just
short of locking out your arms at the bottom to keep the tension on your biceps.
Keep your back straight at all times.
