GOAL
There are more modifications to this than there are girls on your phone. There's no "one way" to curl, just some key principles. Get some blood flow to your biceps #CurlsForTheGirls

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with your dumbbell supine aka palm is facing up towards the ceiling. 
2. Fully stretched out like a kitten in the sun, begin curling one arm by contracting the bicep. 
3. Bring the dumbbell just above elbow height and return to a fully stretched position. Hand can turn in at the bottom if pressure on the elbow is uncomfortable.  

Pro-Tip: Watch that your shoulder doesn't lift the weight. If you start raising your elbows forward and away from your rib cage, that is a sign your shoulder is being a controlling bitch. Instead, isolate that bicep. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Don't Front Raise the Weights
- Initiate from Bicep not Shoulder
- Squeeze
- Full Stretch

Dumbbell Supine Curls

GOAL
Load your elbow and triceps to increase your lockout strength #ElbowStrength

DETAILS

1. Lay flat on a bench, with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your palms facing each other and bend at the elbows so the dumbbells go toward your head, keeping your hands far enough apart that the dumbbells go to your ears.
3. Wrists are neutral and not getting broken by the weight.
4. You can either finish the rep fully or keep the elbow slightly bent and cycle back into the next rep. They both have their benefit. 

Note: you can do this on the floor if you don’t have a bench. 

CUES
- Elbows by Chin
- DB Comes to Forehead
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

Dumbbell Skull Crushers

Whew

GOAL
This move will elevate every shirt you own. Making those arms irresistible to every human with eyes.

DETAILS
1. Grab a dumbbell in one hand. 
2. Stand tall, ribs tucked. Pretend your elbow is glued just outside your ribcage
3. Actively curl the weight across the chest, keeping the Right Triangle in your elbow. 
4. Think to push the weight back down with your tricep.
5. Repeat. Each rep squeeze that bicep like you're making lemonade. 

CUES
- Elbow Pinned to Rib
- Squeeze That Lemon
- Control Descent
- Wrist Neutral

2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. Twist your palm face down. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it.
