Bicep Curl To Press

If you are like me, then you like being as efficient as possible with your workouts.  That's why I love combination exercises that work multiple muscle groups. 

The curl to press is a great way to work  to work your biceps and shoulders. Take a look at the video and instructions below for details on proper form.  

Instructions:

1. Begin in a standing position with a dumbbell in each hand. Your arms should be hanging at your sides with your palms facing forward
2. Curl the weights up. Do not use momentum or flex through the shoulder, instead use a controlled motion 
3. Execute the pressing movement by extending the arm, flexing and abducting the shoulder to rotate the arm as you press above your head 
4. Pause at the top of the motion before reversing the movement to return to the starting position 
5. Complete three to four sets of 8-15 repetitions

Muscles worked
