In all my years of training, I’ve not once seen a person in the gym applying this technique to their biceps training. The only people I’ve actually heard applying this technique were certain pro body builders.

Actually, this is only a very minor change in the way you do your alternate dumbbell curls.

However, this tip can really help boost the contraction motion of your biceps. This small change in how you do the alternate dumbbell curl can make a HUGE difference for the effectiveness of this exercise.

What it does is it adds a little more contraction at the peak of the exercise. Instead of just curling the weight up and down, your going to add a little more contraction at the very peak of the movement.
