Starting Position
- grasp a dumbbell with each hand
- sit down on a weight bench or a chair, your back is straight
- angle your elbow joints to 90 degrees
- bring your upper arms up until they are parallel to the ground
- the elbows point forwards, you can see them in the outer field of vision, your sight turned directly forwards (arms and upper body are vertical to each other)
- the palms of the hands point to each other
Correct Execution
- brace your body
- hold the shoulders back and push the weights up at the same time
- they are arranged vertically above your shoulders
- do not stretch the arms fully, to preserve the elbow joints
- avoid a hollow-back
- go back to the starting position slowly and repeat the exercise for an effective forearm workout
