Exercise Summary

Exercise Name: Zottman Bicep Curl
Main Muscle: Biceps
Secondary Muscle(s): Forearms
Exercise Type: Pull, Isolation
Equipment Required: Dumbbells

Exercise Description and Instruction:

This Bicep Exercise is one of our dumbbell exercises and uses a twisting motion to work a slightly different area of your biceps and forearms than the standard Dumbbell Bicep Curl.

To Perform This Exercise:

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent and your and your abs drawn in.
  2. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing each other and your arms hanging at your sides.
  3. While keeping the upper arms stationary, curl the weights while contracting the biceps. Your wrist should rotate so that you have a supinated (palms up) grip at the top of the exercise.
  4. Now during the contracted position with the dumbbells at should height, rotate your wrist until you now have a pronated (palms facing down) grip.
  5. Pause for a moment and then return to the starting position by lowering the weight with the poronated (palms facing down) grip. As the dumbbells get close your thighs, start rotating your wrists so that they are back to a neutral (palms facing each other) grip.
