Supination of the dumbbell emphasizes contraction of the biceps at the top of the movement. Performed with precision and control this exercise can build strength in the arms as well as create a pump.
Cues:
- Alternate each rep
- Supinate the wrists as you curl the weights up
- Squeeze the top position tightly and lower under control
- Maintain an upright torso
Mistakes:
- Missing full range of motion
- Using the body to create momentum and swing the weights
- Failing to control the negatives
- Leaning or changing position to alter leverage and make the movement easier
