Set up

  1. 01Hold one dumbbell vertically at the chest, elbows down.
  2. 02Stance a little outside the shoulders, toes slightly out.
  3. 03Brace before you sit.

Cues

  • Sit between the heels. Elbows track inside the knees.
  • Keep the bell glued to the chest — it is a counterbalance, not a curl.
  • Stand tall. Do not let the torso collapse forward.

Breath

Inhale down, exhale as you stand.

Common faults

Elbows flaring, bell drifting

Squeeze the bell. Elbows point at the floor.

Heels lifting

Sit back and down. Widen the stance a finger-width.

Losing the brace at the bottom

Pause above the sticking point until the trunk is quiet.

Scale the pattern

Same movement family. The regression shortens the lever or gives you a target. The progression asks for more.
