Zottman Curl
Exercise Overview
The zottman curl exercise is an exercise modification of the conventional biceps curl and reverse curl. This exercise uses dumbbells for resistance. Grip onto a dumbbell in each hand in a palms up orientation and begin to flex the elbows to lift the weight up. While curling the weight be sure to keep the elbow position fixed in space. Upon reaching end range elbow flexion pronate both wrists so that your palms face away from the body. Lower the weight until your elbows are fully extended. Supinate the wrists prior to starting another repetition.
