Step by step

How to do the Standing Concentration Curl

  1. 1

    Taking a dumbbell in your working hand, lean forward. Allow your working arm to hang perpendicular to the ground with the elbow pointing out. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Flex the elbow to curl the weight, keeping the upper arm stationary. At the top of the repetition, flex the biceps and pause.

  3. 3

    Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
