Dumbbell Curls

Dumbbell curls are a classic exercise that primarily targets your biceps, the muscles in the front of your upper arms.

Here's a breakdown:

How to do them:

Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing forward. Let your arms hang naturally at your sides.

The Curl: Keeping your upper arms stationary (close to your sides), curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.

Lowering: Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Tips for good form:

Controlled Movement: Avoid swinging your arms or using momentum. Focus on a slow and controlled motion.

Full Range of Motion: Curl the weights all the way up and lower them all the way down for maximum effectiveness.

Proper Weight: Choose a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain good form for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathe: Exhale as you curl the weights up and inhale as you lower them.

Variations:

Hammer Curls: Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing each other (hammer grip). This targets both the biceps and brachioradialis muscles.

Concentration Curls: Sit on a bench and lean forward, resting your elbow on your inner thigh. This isolates the biceps.

Incline Dumbbell Curls: Perform the curls while leaning back against an incline bench. This shifts the emphasis to the outer head of the biceps.

Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or certified personal trainer before starting any new workout routine. They can help you determine the best exercises and weight for your individual fitness level and goals.

Men's Bicep Workout at Home || Men's Arm Workout For Mass || #bicep #bic...

Warm-up: Start with a 5–10-minute warm-up to get your blood flowing and your muscles ready to work. Some good warm-up exercises include jumping jacks, jogging in place, or arm circles.

Workout: The following are some of the best bicep exercises that you can do at home:

Dumbbell curls: This is a classic bicep exercise that works the front of the biceps. To do a dumbbell curl, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. With your palms facing forward, curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.

Hammer curls: This exercise works the inner and outer heads of the biceps. To do a hammer curl, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. With your palms facing each other, curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.

Preacher curls: This exercise works the long head of the biceps. To do a preacher curl, sit on a preacher bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and place your forearms on the preacher bench. Curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.

Cool-down: Finish your workout with a 5-10 minute cool-down to help your body recover. Some good cool-down exercises include static stretches or yoga poses.

You can do 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions of each exercise. Be sure to rest for 1-2 minutes between sets. As you get stronger, you can increase the weight or resistance of the dumbbells.

It is important to note that this is just a sample workout. You may need to adjust the exercises or the number of sets and repetitions depending on your fitness level. It is also important to listen to your body and don't push yourself too hard.

[dufrau]

andrei's health plan apparently gives him a stipend for like things that are good for you or something??? anyway. i have decided i will be getting some heavier weights on that dime.

Zaynes evol helps him heal. He uses that in his fighting strategy. By coating his arms and legs with ice, he is able to deal powerful attacks, and his healing allows him to hit harder than what should be possible. His healing would basically funcion like built-in shock receptors. He prefers a close combat syle, using his evol in bursts to freeze opponents before dealing a final blow with his gauntlets.

you flirt back for the first time:

sylus

you say something like, “you keep looking at me like that, sylus… you’re gonna have to do something about it,” with a shy little smile.

he completely malfunctions. his eyes grow wide, he swallows hard, his heart visibly skipping a beat.

sylus stares at you like he’s trying to determine if you’re possessed. then, quietly, with his voice a little huskier than usual, “that’s new.”

he recovers fast, though. steps closer and gently brushes your hair behind your ear. “is this your way of telling me you want me to kiss you? because i’m listening.”

bonus:

… sylus.exe has crashed.

his lips part and his eyes darken. he stares for a moment, like he’s trying to decide between kissing you soft or ruining your life. eventually, he just breathes, “say that again. i dare you.”

zayne

you casually murmur, “if you’re gonna keep biting your lip like that, at least let me do it for you,” while scrolling your phone.

dead silent. zayne stops breathing. his jaw flexes, his pupils dilate.

“…excuse me?” his voice drops an octave and he looks at you like you just kicked open the doors to a side of you he definitely wants to explore.

he walks over real slow, tilts your chin up and says, “say that again. no, no—i need it word for word, baby. because if i heard what i think i heard…”

bonus:

zayne chokes on air. his head snaps around so fast, his whole brain reboots. “wait. what? you never—?!” he chuckles lowly. “okay, okay. who are you and what did you do with my sweet, shy angel?”

caleb

you’re teasing him during one of his gym sessions and say, “keep showing off like that and i might have to reward you. privately.”

caleb drops the dumbbell. literal pause. he stares at you with wide eyes, mouth slightly open like a golden retriever who just got called a bad boy.

“wait. wait. wait, back up. say that again?” he starts laughing, but it’s nervous, like he doesn’t know how to process it.

he immediately gets 10x more flirty and tries to re-assert dominance with a grin. “okay, but only if you’re the reward too.”

bonus:

his jaw clenches, breath catches and you can feel the tension shift. like something in him just snapped. he leans back, clears his throat and gives a tiny smirk. “you’re playing with fire, and i’m not the type to pull away when i get burned.”

xavier

you’re both deep into a high-risk deepspace operation. he’s focused, assessing potential threats, guns calibrated, his hud flickering with tactical readouts. you, cool as ever, lean in behind him and murmur through the comms. “you look sexy when you’re in control like this. makes me want to follow your every order… after hours.”

immediate system crash. xavier stops walking, literally halts mid-movement in zero gravity like his whole code just corrupted.

“…repeat that,” he says into the comm, voice a little rough, a lot lower than usual. he doesn’t turn to face you. he’s trying to regain composure while actively calculating threat levels.

he doesn’t miss a beat on the mission afterward, but the tight grip on his weapon and the way he refuses to look at you say everything: you broke him.

bonus:

he stammers, short-circuits, then just covers his face and laughs into his hands quietly. “okay. that’s unfair. you can’t just… out-flirt me like that.”

rafayel

you’re watching him get dressed and casually comment, “if you’re going to tease me with that shirt unbuttoned, the least you can do is let me take it off for you.”

rafayel blinks, twice. “what did you just say?” not offended, not teasing. he’s actually stunned.

a slow, devilish smile starts to curl on his lips as he puts down whatever he was holding. he steps toward you and murmurs, “are you seducing me? because i have to warn you… i’m very easy to seduce.”

bonus:

rafayel freezes. for one glorious second there’s silence. then he smiles a bit mischievously. “oh? okay, i see you. someone’s been hiding from me the whole time.” he never lets it go, but he wants more of your flirty side. “you gonna flirt like that again, or was i just blessed once?”

author’s note: sometimes i can’t decide in which direction i want to go with a headcanon, so, i went with a little bonus 😊

Simon Riley hitting the weights at the gym, holding 110lbs dumbbells tightly in his fists. He curls his arms, making his biceps bulge and his veins pop.

Suddenly, you walk into the gym, and he nearly drops the dumbbells on his feet. There you stand, in a pilates princess outfit, ribbon in your hair, and a Hello Kitty tumbler in your hands. You're eyeing the weights in confusion, wondering where to start. What weight is good for toning? What weight is good for bulking? As Ayesha Erotica bumps in your ears, you feel a tap on your shoulder.

"Hey Love, would you like some help? You're looking at the weights like they're gonna bite you."
