Bicep curls are when you hold a dumbell, arms by your side, and bend your elbows, lifting the weight towards your shulders. Your lower arms should not move, and your elbows should point down. Tricep EXTENSIONS are when your arm is in the air, you bend your elbow, lowwering your upper arm, lower arm stays as is, and go back to start postion. You should feel a strain where your triceps are. (triceps opposite side of arm as biceps, biceps shown on top when you flex your arm)
