Kettlebell Bicep Curl

Video coming soon...

The kettlebell bicep curl is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the biceps.

By holding the kettlebell with an underhand grip, the biceps are isolated and activated.

The kettlebell’s weight provides resistance, allowing for effective bicep muscle contraction and strengthening.

While the exercise may involve some activation of the forearm muscles, the focus remains on the biceps.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
Hold a kettlebell in each hand, palms facing inward, arms fully extended down by your sides.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you exhale and curl the kettlebells towards your shoulders.
Keep your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight throughout the movement.
Pause briefly at the top of the curl, squeezing your biceps.
Inhale as you slowly lower the kettlebells back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring a stable base for the exercise. Stand tall with a slight bend in your knees, engaging your core muscles to maintain proper posture throughout the movement. This will help you generate power and stability as you curl the kettlebell.
Hold the kettlebell with an underhand grip, allowing your arms to fully extend downwards. Keep your elbows close to your sides, preventing any swinging or excessive movement that could strain your biceps. Maintaining a controlled and steady motion is key to effectively targeting the biceps.
Initiate the movement by flexing your biceps, bringing the kettlebell towards your shoulders. Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the curl, maximizing the muscle engagement. Avoid using momentum or relying on your back muscles to lift the weight, as this takes away from the bicep activation.
Lower the kettlebell back down in a slow and controlled manner, resisting the urge to let it drop quickly. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the curl itself, as it helps build strength and control. Emphasize the stretch in your biceps as you lower the weight, maintaining tension throughout the entire range of motion.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower the kettlebell and exhaling as you curl it towards your shoulders.
