Preparation
- Grasp unilaterally loaded dumbbell with pinkie finger next to weight side. Lie on bench on side with weight and position arm with "half dumbbell" on bench. Bend elbow approximately 90-degrees and tuck bent elbow under body. Position thumb up (pronated).
Execution
- Rotate dumbbell so thumb turns downward (supinated). Return and repeat.
Comments
- Bench can be flat or slightly incline (0-30 degrees) so resistance occurs during final range of motion. If unilaterally loaded dumbbell, or "half dumbbell" is not available, grasp conventional dumbbell to one side of handle with thumb against inside surface.
