Stop Doing Dumbbell Bicep Curls Like This!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Dumbbell bicep curls are one of the most popular biceps exercises performed in the gym or at home. The problem is, it is also one of those arm exercises that is most commonly performed wrong. In this video, I’m going to show you the best way to do the standing dumbbell curl for bigger biceps and some other added benefits you may not have been aware of.

First we need to start by looking at what is not optimal about the standing alternating dumbbell curl. When you alternate your arms during the reps you have a period where one of the arms is resting. This is taking the tension off of the biceps for the 2-3 seconds that it takes to perform the rep on the other arm. If you are training for metabolic hypertrophy, this brief period of rest is enough to sap all of the benefits of that form of training and is therefore something you want to avoid.
The next thing is that by alternating your arms during the movement you are sacrificing a great deal of core involvement that you could be getting by not doing this. Think about it. When you curl the weight up, the momentum of the load wants to tilt you backwards and make you lean back with the weight. The only thing that helps you to prevent this is the stabilization and contraction of your abs and core to not let that happen.
If the load that you are lifting is in just one hand, you will only be having to control half of the weight. In this example I am curling 30 pound dumbbells. My core will only have to contract hard enough to control the thirty pounds. If on the other hand I lift the two dumbbells at the same time, then I will have to work that much harder in order to control the 60 combined pounds that are in my hands.
Finally, there are often times many muscle imbalances that are developed by performing your dumbbell bicep curls in alternating fashion. If you are training for strength but one side is weaker than the other you might see that your arm struggles more to get to the top. At the same time, you might find that you simply cannot move the weight at the same speed that you can on your stronger, more powerful arm. Both of these are problems but not easily seen when you are doing them one arm at a time.
If on the other hand you switched to the simultaneous standing dumbbell curl you would notice right away when the imbalance exists. Simply watching as one dumbbell was curled faster and more unevenly than your weaker side would give you instant feedback that you needed to correct the strength imbalance. Forcing the dumbbells to move together is a great way to overcome whatever disparity exists and even out the development of your biceps.
The same goes for the tension problem. By forcing the dumbbells to move together, there is constant tension on both biceps throughout the entire exercise. This makes for a move more capable of creating hypertrophy and for getting those biceps of yours bigger. Finally, the core becomes instantly more active and responsible for holding you steady when you switch to the double arm movement.
Now you can do one other alternative and that is to alternate the direction of the arms during the movement but to make sure you are doing them at the same time yet again. Here you get the same benefits of the tension and imbalance correction but you sacrifice a bit still on the demand of the abs since only one dumbbell is moving up at a time. In fact, you might cancel out the demand a bit because the other is counterbalancing and moving in the opposite direction.
Either way, the standing dumbbell curl is best done when not alternating the arms while performing it. Now don’t get me wrong, even performed this way you are going to get better results than a much more non athletic bicep exercise like the concentration curl which has you sitting down for the entire movement. If you want to look like an athlete you need to train like one, and that means training on your feet at every opportunity.

One's better imo. Your core's gonna work harder to keep u upright
Love all the videos, I have been lifting for 20 years all styles and now at 50, I have decided to change a lot of what I have probably been doing incorrectly. I love working on my core and obliques for the last two years solid but it stopped improving. My diet is solid that's always first. So six weeks ago I came across your channel and changed everything and it's been great. I try and use all your techniques in my home and limited gym. High rep counts, slower controlled reps, and much much lighter weight. I am finally getting sore again when I work out so I know things are different and working. I do have a medical issue that keeps me from reaching what I call perfect, which sucks because of the amount of time and energy and focus I put in to be the best, I seem to never be able to reach. However, I feel comfortable with my shirt off at the beach or anytime and there were years where that was never going to happen. Thanks for the channel, videos, and suggestions.
Hey man. I love your channel. I was injured on the job and once I can get back in the gym, I will benefit greatly from what I have learned on your channel. Thank you for investing in the fitness community with practical and insightful training techniques. You are a priceless resource.
This was literally me last night. Thanks for making these videos. I totally feel like I'm on the right track
Awesome tips as usual. I've improved most of my forms from watching your videos
Seeing a demonstration of what you’re explaining, makes so much sense. Thanks a million 👍🏾
thank you, your channel is always the best, mind muscle connection keeping the core in-gauged, everything you talk about is exactly what i need

Great video. Prior to this I actually thought it would be more effective to do them individually than together. This actually saves a little time doing them simultaneously and I never even considered the core aspect of it. Thanks Jeff

I have tried both of these and the difference was amazing. I have been following Jeff for a year now and I absolutely love the difference and the education I have gotten from his channel

Thanks for the information Jeff, I preferred the second exercise because if you curl both at the same time, you'd probably be just as well doing barbell curls instead. I usually finish my biceps off with individual Dumbbells to muscle fatigue so this was an important video. I will definitely be changing to option 2 from now on. Thanks again dude, u da man
Nice to know Jeff, and I are on the same page. I started going this a few months ago, just to try something new. When doing both arms at the same time, it really forces me to steady myself more. It also works, or bombs both biceps, giving better gains to my weaker arm, and side.
This is definitely a game changer. I will be doing this from here on out. Thank you

true true. Jeff does curls the same way when he is lying on an inclined Bench- So I am guessing it is a better way. Still A video explaining it further Vs. other curling methods like Over the Spectrum mentioned would be interesting!
Speaking of the core, what about getting Washboard Wednesdays back
You helped me with the question I had for a long time. Thank you
Wow....this video helped me a lot. Thanx Jeff
I started doing my bicep curls like this last week, and wow. Simply wow. I am immediately feeling the difference and a couple to a few days later, I'm seeing the difference. So fast!

There should be martial arts themed AX-program.

Training martial arts will give you an amazing body, but AthleanX is not about teaching you Karate. Jeff is a pro athlete, not a sensei. Sorry to disappoint, lol.

Misho Pruidze Mma fighters are athletes. This channel is about athleticism, and how to become athletic, in a safe way. Knowing how to fight, when your body is as well adjusted as the hips of a 90 years old obese woman, will get you nowhere.

Anyway, Blake, if you want to learn martial arts, take some classes in clubs in your area, if you want a badass training program, buy the military training program from AthleanX, that's as close as you can get to martial arts theme.
WOW. This video was very helpful.
Thanks for your teaching
His biceps will one day jump off his arms and have families
I could've sworn he told us in another video to do it one at a time just so we activate the arm more and not the core so much.

No, He said if your arm's are lagging behind, do them individual. But if your arm's aren't lagging, do them both for the core benefit.
Thank you so much Jeff, this technique works so well
Excellent channel for beginners like me finally starting to take health seriously. I just started lifting weights in the last month or two.
Jeff basically has a cricket ball instead of his biceps.

circket ball is much smaller then his biceps... but one day his biceps will fall from his hand to have families
It would be great to see a much more in-depth video about positive nitrogen balance and bodyrecomposition! I would love that and I think many others would as well!
Been doing them the traditional way since as long as I can remember. I've already tried doing them your way and I can honestly say that it works much better! Thanks Jeff, and I will buy one of your programs as soon as I have the money 💰
Thank you Jeff . As always great tips .
