One-Handed Cross-Body Curl

  1. Stand up, leaning slightly forward from a straight position, feet shoulder-width apart, and your knees slightly bent.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing your body and arms fully extended at your sides. This is your starting position.
  3. Keeping your elbows close to your body, slowly curl one dumbbell up toward your opposite shoulder, across your body.
  4. Continue curling until the weight comes close to the activating bicep's shoulder. Squeeze your bicep before slowly lowering the weight to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the curl on the opposite side.
  6. Continue alternating curls on each side for the desired number of repetitions.
