Grip the handles with your hands (left hand left handle, right hand right handle) with an underhand grip (palms facing up). Arms are stretched.
3

Now bend your arms forcefully until you have reached the maximum bend in your elbows and your hands are close to your shoulders. Your palms should be facing your ears. Exhale and tense your biceps hard.
4

Release the bend in your elbows slowly and in a controlled manner until your arms are fully extended and back in the starting position. Breathe in as you do this.

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Take a stable stance before starting the exercise and always keep your back straight during the exercise.
Make sure that your upper arms and shoulders remain in the same position throughout the exercise. The elbows do not move inwards. The exercise only consists of flexing the elbow, which is only performed by the biceps muscles.
