The dumbbell standing single spider curl is a single-arm biceps exercise performed leaning forward over an incline bench so the working arm hangs straight down. It targets the biceps brachii, with the brachialis and brachioradialis assisting, and its dropped-arm position keeps constant tension on the biceps through the full curl.

Dumbbell Standing Single Spider Curl: So führst du sie aus

  1. 1Set an incline bench to roughly 45 degrees and hold a dumbbell in one hand with a supinated grip, palm facing forward.
  2. 2Stand behind the high end of the bench and lean your chest and the back of your working upper arm against the pad, keeping your feet planted and core braced.
  3. 3Let the working arm hang straight down from the shoulder, perpendicular to the floor, with the dumbbell at full stretch and your elbow slightly soft.
  4. 4Curl the dumbbell upward by flexing only at the elbow, keeping your upper arm pinned against the pad and stationary.
  5. 5Squeeze the biceps hard at the top, holding the contraction briefly without swinging the weight.
  6. 6Lower the dumbbell under control back to the fully hanging position, resisting the descent.
  7. 7Complete all reps on one arm, then switch the dumbbell to the other hand and repeat.

Technik-Tipps

  • Keep the upper arm fixed against the pad so all the movement comes from the elbow, isolating the biceps.
  • Use a deliberate tempo, taking about two seconds to lower the dumbbell on each rep to maximize tension.
  • Fully supinate your wrist (palm up) at the top to recruit the biceps brachii more strongly.
  • Brace your core and keep your stance stable so your torso does not rock to help lift the weight.

Häufige Fehler

  • Swinging the torso or shoulder to heave the dumbbell up, which shifts work off the biceps and reduces the effect of the exercise.
  • Letting the elbow drift forward or off the pad, which turns the movement into a partial front raise and removes biceps isolation.
  • Using too heavy a dumbbell so you cannot control the lowering phase, losing tension and risking elbow strain.
  • Cutting the range short by not letting the arm fully extend at the bottom, which trains only the easy middle of the curl.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What muscles does the dumbbell standing single spider curl work?

It primarily works the biceps brachii, with the brachialis and brachioradialis assisting. The dropped-arm position keeps steady tension on the biceps throughout the curl.

Why do a spider curl over an incline bench?

Leaning forward lets your working arm hang straight down, which removes momentum and keeps the biceps under tension from the very start of the rep, especially in the stretched bottom position.

How many sets and reps should I do?

Three to four sets of 10 to 15 reps per arm works well, since this is an isolation move best driven by controlled tempo and a strong squeeze rather than heavy weight.

Is the single-arm version better than doing both arms at once?

Training one arm at a time lets you focus fully on each biceps, fix side-to-side imbalances, and keep your upper arm firmly pinned to the pad for cleaner isolation.
