How to perform this exercise

1. Sit upright on a near-vertical supported bench with both feet planted. Hold one dumbbell in each hand beside the thighs, arms long and palms facing inward.
2. Curl both dumbbells toward the shoulders while turning the palms upward, rotate to a comfortable press grip and press overhead. Lower to the shoulders and reverse the curl to the arms-down start without swaying.
