5 Arm-Smacking Exercises to Pump Your Biceps

#5 Zottman Curl

The Zottman curl is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the biceps brachii. Additionally, the exercise tones a slew of muscles present in the forearms as well.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart and secure the dumbbells in both the hands. The palms must be facing each other in this position.

Step 2: With stationary upper arms, curl the dumbbells upwards until they are in line with the shoulders. In this position, rotate the wrists such that the palms are now facing away from the body.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and lower the weights toward the hips with the same grip.

Step 4: Pause for a second and rotate your wrists once again to return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Keep the elbows close to the body throughout the duration of the exercise.
