Static Curls

The movement of static curls is similar to that of dumbbell curls. The difference here is that you perform all of your reps one arm at a time while statically holding a dumbbell in the middle position with your non-working arm.

After you have performed all of the reps with one arm, switch sides. Your other arm will now be holding a dumbbell in the middle while reps are performed on the other side. The static hold in this exercise fatigues the biceps in a different way than it is used to. Try it at the end of your workout to give the biceps an added pump.

Tips

* The static hold of this exercise puts more stress on the biceps than standard dumbbell curls. Begin with less weight in order to perform the movement properly and avoid injury.
* Switch sides on each set to balance the work on your biceps. For example, if you begin with your left arm in the static hold position and your right arm performing reps in set 1, do the opposite in set 2.
