Alternating Dumbbell
Curl
If you're looking to add size to your arms, there aren't too many exercises that are more
effective at stimulating sleeve stretching muscle growth than alternating dumbbell curls. Because this
exercise utilizes dumbbells it allows your arms to move freely requiring you to utilize all portions of your
biceps brachii in order to stabilize the dumbbells on the way up or down.
If performed correctly, the alternating dumbbell curl can help you add a few inches to your
arms relatively quickly, especially if you've never trained with dumbbell before. One of the main benefits of
the dumbbell curl is that it allows you to train each of your arms separately. This ensures
that your dominant (stronger) arm doesn't pick up the slack and overcompensate for your weaker arm,
leading to disproportionate arm development and growth.
