Zottman Curl — biceps isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Zottman Curl

Isolation · Weight × reps

At the top, rotate the forearms so the palms face down and lower the weights slowly; turn back to the starting grip at the bottom. Avoid rotating under a load that makes the wrists wobble or dropping quickly through the overhand phase. Because the lowering grip is mechanically demanding, use less weight than for a standard curl and treat smooth forearm rotation as part of the repetition.
