How to do it

  1. Sit on a bench, brace your working elbow against your inner thigh.
  2. Hold the dumbbell with an underhand grip, palm facing away from you.
  3. Curl the weight up while keeping your upper arm still.
  4. Squeeze, then lower under control to a full stretch.

The one cue that matters

Only the forearm moves. If your shoulder swings, the weight is too heavy.

Muscles worked

The Reverse-Grip Concentration Curl isolates the Biceps — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted biceps volume without extra fatigue.
