bicep curls

Dumbbell lifting exercise

Bicep curls are a weightlifting exercise where you hold a weight with your arm extended downward, then bend at the elbow to raise it toward your shoulder, isolating the bicep muscle.

The movement can be performed with dumbbells, barbells, or cable machines: I do three sets of bicep curls on arm day.
