Dumbbell Lunge With Bicep Curl

Begin by holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended by your sides. Take a step forward with your right foot, bending both knees to approximately 90 degrees. As you lunge forward, simultaneously curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders. Push through your right heel and return to the starting position, lowering the dumbbells back down to your sides. Repeat on the other side, stepping forward with your left foot and curling the dumbbells again. Alternate legs and continue the lunge with bicep curl exercise.

How to perform the Dumbbell Lunge With Bicep Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Dumbbell Lunge With Bicep Curl using your dumbbell.

  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.

  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
