Overview
The Seesaw Dumbbell Biceps Curl is an alternating curl variation where one arm lifts as the other lowers, creating continuous tension and rhythm. It engages the core slightly for balance and coordination while keeping both arms active throughout the set.
How to Perform
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with arms fully extended and palms facing forward.
As you curl one dumbbell up, lower the other simultaneously.
Continue in a controlled seesaw motion, alternating sides.
Keep elbows fixed close to your torso.
Maintain even pace and smooth transitions.
★ Bonus: For exercises that involve external weights (such as dumbbells, barbells, or machines), the One Rep Max (1RM) calculator can help you estimate your maximum lifting capacity. Use it to track your strength progress and adjust your training for optimal results.
Tips
Keep your abs tight to avoid swaying.
Focus on constant tension between arms.
Move slowly and in sync — no jerky motion.
Exhale during the curl, inhale during lowering.
Use moderate weights for better control.
How Not to Perform
Don’t swing both arms or twist your torso.
Avoid rushing — keep rhythm consistent.
Don’t lift your elbows or shoulders.
Avoid heavy weights that break form.
Don’t let the dumbbells collide at the bottom.
Variations
Variations of fitness exercises refer to different ways of performing a specific exercise or movement to target various muscle groups, intensities, or goals. These variations aim to challenge the body differently, prevent plateaus, and cater to individuals with varying fitness levels.
Alternatives
Alternative exercises in fitness refer to different movements or activities that target similar muscle groups or serve the same training purpose as the primary exercise. These alternative exercises can be used as substitutes when the original exercise is unavailable or challenging to perform due to various reasons such as equipment limitations, injuries, or personal preferences.
