<ul>
<li>Start with a manageable weight to maintain proper form and avoid straining your biceps.</li>
<li>Keep your upper arm firmly pressed against the bench to isolate the bicep and prevent shoulder involvement.</li>
<li>Move slowly and deliberately, particularly on the lowering phase, to maximize muscle engagement.</li>
<li>Avoid locking your elbow at the bottom of the movement to keep tension on the bicep.</li>
<li>Breathe out as you lift the dumbbell and breathe in as you lower it.</li>
<li>Use a controlled motion&mdash;don&rsquo;t swing or jerk the weight, which can lead to injury.</li>
<li>Focus on squeezing the bicep at the top of the curl for added effectiveness.</li>
<li>Perform the exercise with one arm at a time to ensure balanced development and concentration on each bicep.</li>
</ul>
