Curl your fingers to lift the dumbbells by flexing at your wrist joints, moving only your hands and keeping your forearms still.
Raise the dumbbells as high as you can by curling your fingers toward your wrists.
Hold the peak contraction for a moment and then slowly release your fingers, returning the weights back to the starting position.
