How to perform it

  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. Flex the elbow to curl the weight, keeping the upper arm stationary. At the top of the repetition, flex the biceps and pause.
  3. Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Muscles worked

The Standing Concentration Curl primarily targets your Biceps, with support from your Forearms. You'll need dumbbell.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Standing Concentration Curl slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
