Dual Handle Zottman Curl Instructions
1. Setup:
- Attach dual handles to the low pulleys of a cable machine or use a pair of dumbbells.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the handles with an underhand (supinated) grip, palms facing up.
2. Starting Position:
- Keep your arms fully extended and elbows close to your torso.
3. Curling Phase:
- Curl the handles or dumbbells upward towards your shoulders, focusing on engaging your biceps.
- Keep the movement controlled and avoid using momentum.
4. Rotation Phase:
- At the top of the curl, rotate your wrists so that your palms face downward (pronated grip).
- Ensure the rotation is smooth to engage the forearms.
5. Lowering Phase:
- Slowly lower the handles or dumbbells back down to the starting position with your palms facing downward.
- Focus on controlling the descent to engage the brachioradialis and forearm muscles.
6. Repetition:
- Rotate your wrists back to the starting supinated position (palms facing up) and repeat for the desired number of reps.
Dual Handle Zottman Curl Tips:
- Elbow Stability: Keep your elbows stationary to maintain focus on the biceps and forearms.
- Wrist Control: Ensure smooth wrist rotation to effectively target the forearms.
- Slow Eccentric: Control the lowering phase to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
