  2. Sit on the end of the bench with your feet out in front of you and your knees together.
  3. Pick the dumbbells up off the floor and let them hang by your sides with your palms facing up.
  4. Bend the arms slightly to take up the tension in the biceps. This is the starting position for the exercise.
  5. Keeping your back straight and your elbows tucked in at your sides, slowly curl both dumbbells up as far as possible.
  6. Squeeze the biceps hard, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
