The dumbbell drag curl primarily targets the biceps and emphasizes the biceps’ peak contraction by minimizing shoulder involvement. It is an effective exercise for building upper arm strength and size by isolating the biceps more than traditional curls.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells by your sides.
  2. Keep elbows close to the torso and pull the dumbbells up along the body.
  3. Focus on moving the weight with your biceps, minimizing shoulder movement.
