Arm Strength: Benefits of Supinated Curls for Muscle Growth
Supinated curls, also known as underhand or palms-up curls, are a popular strength training exercise primarily targeting the biceps brachii. In this exercise, the palms face upwards throughout the movement, maximizing engagement of the biceps while reducing forearm involvement compared to other curl variations like hammer curls. Performing supinated curls involves gripping a dumbbell or barbell with an underhand grip, typically shoulder-width apart, and curling the weight towards the shoulders while keeping the elbows close to the torso. The key to effective supinated curls lies in maintaining control and avoiding swinging.
