Bottle Weighted Reverse Grip Concentration Curl

Perform the Bottle Weighted Reverse Grip Concentration Curl to target your biceps with a focus on the brachialis muscle.

  1. Start by sitting on a bench with your feet flat on the ground.

  3. Curl the bottle towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm stationary.
  4. Lower the bottle back to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Bottle Weighted Reverse Grip Concentration Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Bottle Weighted Reverse Grip Concentration Curl using your free weights.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your forearms rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
