Waiter Curl: how to do it and form tips

A dumbbell curl where you hold one end of a dumbbell with both hands like holding a tray. The angle bias loads the long head of the biceps for a stronger peak.

Form tips

  1. Hold one end of a dumbbell with both palms cupped underneath, like a waiter holding a tray.
  2. Curl up while keeping elbows stationary at your sides.
  3. The unique grip shifts tension to the long head, use lighter weight than your normal curl.
