Drag curls dumbbells

Drag curls dumbbells are a unique bicep curl variation in which you don’t bring the weight all the way to the front of your body. Thus, you have a harder time swinging and using momentum to lift the weight.

As for the long head of the bicep, it is most stressed due to the positioning of the elbow. Your elbows move back behind you, activating it to a very high level.

For this exercise, you can use a barbell, dumbbells, or an EZ bar, all for the same effect.

Execution technique

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent and your abs pulled in.
Hold the dumbbells with a double underhand grip with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart.

Bring your elbows and shoulders back slightly as you swing the dumbbells upward. It should feel like you’re “dragging” the dumbbell up your body.

Squeeze your biceps hard at the top and slowly return to the starting position.
