I have a Dumbbell question? please help?

Question

What muscles are used when you bring the dumbbell towards your chest (up motion) while your palms are:

1. facing up (this i belive is the bicep curl)

2. Down

3. side (like holding a cup of water)

Answer 1

your bicep  

Answer 2

If the dumbbell is facing palm up, then this is a bicep curl. The other is called a hammer curl. and if it's down it's a reverse bicep curl.

Answer 3

1.  Biceps primarily

2.  Forearm, top of arm and front area of bicep

3.  (I think you mean like a hammer curl) Forearm, bottom of arm and bicep.

Each works a little different angle so it's good to do all of them.

Answer 4

1. Facing up- biceps and wrist

2Top of the arm, biscep and some shoulder

3. Shoulders and back of your arms
