What makes this exercise amazing is that, if properly performed, you will be effectively targeting both the short and long head of the biceps! So, I joined forces with Colossus Fitness in order to share with you the 5 dumbest mistakes when performing the dumbbell bicep curl!  But before we dive into the dumbbell bicep curl, if you missed the last article of the Common Training Mistake series, here is the link! In that article I was discussing the 6 most common mistakes you can make when performing the Overhead Press!  I believe it’s very important to demonstrate what proper form looks like first, and then go over the most common mistakes involving that form. Also, lately I’ve been doing a lot of “cheat” reps for my biceps and I want to clarify exactly what these are and how they can be performed safely and efficiently.  Dumbbell Bicep Curl – Proper Form The starting position is very important. Start with your palms facing forward (supinated forearms). One of the functions of the bicep is to supinate the forearm so it’s crucial that your arms are supinated throughout the entire range of motion. Once in place, keep your elbows in front of your hips and curl all the way to the top but make sure your elbows stay in that fixed position. Squeeze your biceps as hard as you can, getting a tight contraction, and then slowly control the negative on the way down. That is what perfect form looks like.  Cheat Reps – An Advanced Bodybuilding Tool One tool you can use to overload your muscles is called cheat reps. During a cheat rep, you skip the concentric (positive) portion of the rep, to focus entirely on the heavy negative (eccentric), in order to support more growth.  What this means in practice, is that I grab heavier dumbbells than usual, and instead of being super strict on the way up, I use a bit of momentum to get the dumbbell to the top position. But once I get to the top, I control the dumbbell on the way down because we know that the majority of muscle damage occurs on the negative portion of the lift.  This is an advanced bodybuilding tool and I wouldn’t suggest something like this for beginners. Beginners should be focusing on the proper form demonstrated above so as to avoid injuries and maximize their results!  And now that we got that out of the way, let’s jump right into the 5 most common mistakes involving the dumbbell bicep curl!  MISTAKE #1 – Skipping Half Of The Movement The first mistake has a lot to do with people confusing and merging two different exercises, the bicep curl and the hammer curl. What you need to understand is that the hammer curl is an extraordinary exercise to add to your arsenal, but it mainly activates the brachialis and the brachioradialis, not the biceps. So if your goal is to build bigger biceps, a neutral forearm position (palms facing each other) is not the way to maximize your results.  A lot of lifters start with their arms neutral and then they twist the dumbbells out halfway to the top, effectively mixing the two exercises together. The reason why this is bad, is because you are skipping the hardest part of the range of motion, which is the first half. Of course, you will notice that it’s much easier to hammer curl the weight up and then twist at the top, rather than to perform the entire movement with your arms supinated.  So there is a time and place for the hammer curl but it’s not when trying to build your biceps.  *CONTINUE READING HERE* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Five-Dumbest-Dumbbell-Bicep-Curl-Mistakes-Sabotaging-Bicep-Growth  Program Selector -  Get The Right Program For You! - https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Selector ---------------------------------------- Subscribe To My Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness ---------------------------------------- 1 on 1 Online Coaching - http://muscularstrength.com/consultations  ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD MY APP! – iPhone & Android! https://muscularstrength.com/phoneapp ---------------------------------------- MORE TIPS! - https://www.instagram.com/ScottHermanFitness'
