To properly perform a tricep curl, focus on slow, controlled movements, extending fully and feeling the burn in your tricep muscle.
Here's a breakdown to help you master the exercise:
- Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in one hand.
- The Movement: Keep your elbow close to your head and slowly lower the weight behind you.
- Extension: Extend your arm fully, squeezing your tricep at the top.
- Control: Lower the weight slowly and with control, feeling the stretch in your tricep.
- Repetitions: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
Key Points to Remember:
- Slow and Controlled: Focus on slow, controlled movements throughout the entire exercise.
- Isolate the Tricep: This exercise is designed to isolate and work the tricep muscle.
- Feel the Burn: Pay attention to the feeling in your tricep as you extend and lower the weight.
By focusing on these key points, you can effectively perform tricep curls and strengthen your tricep muscles.
