One-Arm Dumbbell Concentration Curl

Description

This isolation exercise helps improve arm size and strength, targeting mainly the biceps muscle. The positioning of the arm in this exercise forces the biceps to contract without any assistance from other muscle groups.

Benefits

  • This exercise isolates the biceps muscle of each arm.
  • This exercise helps develop the overall size and strength of the biceps.
  • This exercise helps address any muscle imbalances between both arms with its unilateral setup.

Risks

  • If not correctly executed, this exercise can injure the lower back, elbows, and shoulders.
  • This exercise can also hurt your wrist.
  • Proper execution and progression of resistance are a must to avoid injuries.
  • Beginners should always start with light resistance and practice good form first.
