How to do Dumbbell Seated One Arm Bicep Curl on Exercise Ball with Leg Raised
- 01Setup
Sit securely on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart, and engage your core to stabilize your torso.
- 02Setup
Hold a dumbbell in one hand with your palm facing forward, arm fully extended down towards the floor, keeping your elbow close to your side.
- 03Setup
Slowly lift the leg opposite to the arm holding the dumbbell, bending your knee to a 90-degree angle, and maintain your balance on the ball.
- 04
Exhale and curl the dumbbell upwards towards your shoulder, keeping your upper arm stationary and only moving at the elbow joint.
- 05
Squeeze your bicep firmly at the peak of the contraction, ensuring your wrist remains straight and does not flex.
- 06
Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position with controlled movement, fully extending your arm while maintaining tension.
Tips
- Maintain a tight core and stable torso throughout the movement to prevent swaying on the ball and maximize balance challenge.
- Emphasize a slow and controlled eccentric (lowering) phase to maximize muscle engagement and minimize reliance on momentum.
- Keep your elbow pinned close to your side and avoid letting it drift forward or backward to effectively isolate the bicep.
- Focus your gaze forward and maintain a neutral spine to help with balance and proper posture during the curl.
Common mistakes
- Swinging the dumbbell up using momentum rather than controlled muscle contraction reduces bicep activation; lower the weight and focus on a strict, deliberate curl.
- Allowing your body to sway excessively or losing balance on the ball indicates a lack of core engagement; actively brace your core and use a lighter weight if needed.
- Letting your elbow flare out from your side during the curl shifts tension away from the bicep; keep your elbow tucked in to maintain isolation and proper form.
