Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Dumbbell Standing Alternate Reverse Curl.
A standing dumbbell curl performed with an overhand (reverse) grip, alternating arms each repetition. The reverse grip shifts emphasis onto the forearm extensors and brachioradialis while still engaging the biceps, making it an effective exercise for balanced forearm and upper arm development.
The Dumbbell Standing Alternate Reverse Curl is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
