Curls: Seated Dumbell Curls:

Curls: Seated Dumbell Curls:
The basic purpose of the seated dumbell curl is to build size and mass in the biceps muscles. Sit on a bench with a back support, arms extended down and a dumbell in each hand. Start with your palms facing inward. Curl one arm (either one) towards your shoulder in an arc. While you are curling upward, your palm should twist so that it first faces out and then faces you at completion of the curl. During the motion, keep your upper arm and body as motionless as possible. There will be some movement, but avoid swinging the dumbell up. Make the biceps work. Lower the weight slowly and repeat the movement with the other arm.

Re: Curls: Seated Dumbell Curls:

dumbbell curls are useless for building mass. the body does not work this way, in isolation. the body uses combination of muscles to perform tasks. the body will see no purpose in building mass for a function it does not perform. db curls are good for peaking and definition. you want mass, make your body use your arms functionally. how often do you pick up something that heavy with 1 hand, curl it up, then set it down? never. lift things, pull things..heavy things. deadlifts, weighted pullups, two-arm curls/lifts, pull sleds hand over hand. this is how you build muscle.
