Performing the Dumbbell Tate Press 💪

The dumbbell Tate press is a great triceps isolation exercise that emphasizes the medial and lateral heads.

👉 Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing in).

👉 Extend your arms straight up, keeping the dumbbells close together, touching at the top over your chest.

👉 Bend your elbows outward (not down toward your body), bringing the dumbbells inward toward your chest.

✅ Why Dumbbell Preacher Curls Matter! 💪

1️⃣ Pick a moderate weight that allows controlled reps. Going too heavy leads to swinging or reduced range of motion, defeating the purpose of isolation.

2️⃣ Curl the dumbbell up slowly (~2 seconds), squeeze the bicep hard at the top.

3️⃣ Lower even slower (~3–4 seconds) to maximize time under tension and eccentrics for hypertrophy.

💪⬆️ Effective Bicep Curls

The bicep curl is meant to isolate and train the biceps brachii, but poor form can shift the load to other muscles like the shoulders or forearms.

Knowing how the movement works ensures you’re training what you think you’re training.

👉 Keep your elbows locked at your sides

👉 Avoid swinging

👉 Full range of motion
