Keeping your elbows tucked into your sides throughout the lift, smoothly curl the dumbells up towards your shoulders, keeping your palms facing towards each other (thumbs on top) at all times.
Aim to keep your abdominal muscles tight throughout to avoid swinging or leaning forward during the movement, focusing on pulling your shoulders back and keeping your head up.
You can also perform this exercise with 1 arm, however focus on keeping your palms facing each other throughout the movement.
The level of difficulty for any weight lifting exercise, has a great emphasis on the amount of weight about to be lifted.
Always aim to start with a light weight, adapting good technique prior to increasing the weight.
