the user should grip the dumbbell with 20 lbs on the
thumb side of the hand and the 30 lbs on the little
finger side of the hand.
Start the biceps curl with a neutral wrist and forearm
position (palm facing leg). As the curl progresses from
the start to finish position, the wrist should be rotated
progressively outward (palm up). During this curl the
user will be lifting the weight of the dumbbell (25 lbs)
with the biceps but also lifting the offset weight of 5 lbs
with wrist rotation (supination). Unlike a conventional
dumbbell that is balanced end to end, this offset weight
will require more muscle activation and therefore
develop the forearm and wrist.
